May 17, 2017  I just did a fresh Windows 10 install on a new RVE and I have installed all the online drivers from the Asus site for the motherboard. The Network Controller says it does not have a driver installed and cannot find one. I just built a PC using the Asus Z97-A board and I just installed Windows 7-64bit and I'm having a hard time trying to figure out which drivers I have to install.
