Windows 11 WiFi driver
I have a question about where to install drivers for my pc, some just install and it's good to go some ask a path. I am trying to install my Wi-Fi driver and it shows a path its going to and under that is shows device name and says (no suitable driver?) and the option to install is grayed out. I don't get it I am trying to install the drivers and it says no suitable driver.
system is windows 11 64 pro
mobo is MSI z790 tomahawk max
also, if anyone know how to do this on windows 10, a friend has this board and there's no support for Wi-Fi driver in windows 10? I mean it's not windows 7 or me.
If it still says ‘No suitable driver’, it might be that the driver you downloaded is not compatible with your specific hardware, or Windows hasn’t recognized it properly. Ensure that you’re downloading the correct version for your exact hardware.
Try uninstalling any current driver for the Wi-Fi adapter through Device Manager and then reinstalling the downloaded driver. For your friend using Windows 10, ensure they are also downloading the appropriate drivers from MSI's official site; if there is no dedicated Windows 10 support, they might try using compatibility mode during installation or consider using a USB Wi-Fi adapter as a temporary solution.
If you're encountering issues with installing the Wi-Fi driver on your MSI Z790 Tomahawk Max motherboard, first ensure that you're downloading the correct driver version for Windows 11 from the MSI support website, specifically filtering for your motherboard model. If the installation prompts a path and shows "no suitable driver," it may indicate that the driver package is not compatible with your system or that the driver is already installed and not functioning correctly. Verify that no previous drivers are interfering by uninstalling any existing Wi-Fi drivers and then attempting a fresh installation. For your friend's Windows 10 issue, while Windows 10 generally has compatibility with newer hardware, they may need to try using the same driver from the manufacturer’s site or consider using compatibility mode during the driver installation process. Additionally, USB Wi-Fi adapters could serve as a temporary solution if native drivers aren't available.
