#Intel 7 series sata ahci controller driver windows 10 drivers#
The Reason why there is probably 8 Series drivers is because it is newer and may not have those drivers built in. Don't expect there to be drivers for everything already. I have put windows 10 on a few older Core 2 Duo machines that run off the 3X 4X chipsets and the only drivers i ever need to update is Video cards (if there is an addin one) otherwise no driver issues what so ever. Also Windows 10 most likely has most of the drivers needed for it built in. Same with Drivers.Įven though it isn't that old it is still a few gens back. Older phones don't get updates plain and simple. Is the newer driver improving performance, compatibility, or both?Īppreciate any feedback on driver status for 7-Series motherboards or what, if anything, the newer Windows 10 SATA driver brings to the table. But only the B85 board has the newer SATA driver for Windows 10.
If you notice, the B75 and B85 motherboards have the same SATA driver for Win7,8, and 8.1. iaStorA.sys (1422 KB) Here's an example of what I'm talking about: But if no driver update is needed, then why did Asus (Intel I guess) release a new driver for the 8-Series chipset but not the B75? Actually all the 8-Series and newer chipset boards have updated SATA/AHCI drivers, but not the 7-Series boards.
Yes, the Win-8.1 driver seems to be working fine in Windows 10. In fact, I've checked all the major players (Asus, ASRock, GigaByte, MSI) and all of them only have a few sporadic updated Windows 10 drivers for their 7-Series chipset boards - but non of them have updated SATA drivers. My B75 Asus board only has updated Chipset and LAN drivers so far. What bothers me is that the 8-Series and newer motherboards have updated drivers for Windows 10, including SATA/AHCI. I know everyone is suggesting that the Win-8.1 drivers be used if Win-10 drivers aren't available, and I have installed the Win-8.1 SATA drivers (using Have Disk) without issue on a clean Win-10 install. Are the 7-Series motherboards being left behind by the manufacturers and Intel with regards to Windows 10 drivers? Specifically updated SATA/AHCI drivers.
