Sorry, but there's no such thing. If it's a newer desktop it may just work OOB but be sure to install the pc manufacturer chipset. The chipset allows the operating system to find and use devices integrated into the mother board. Other options may be to install it as a virtual machine on hyper-v, vmware workstation, virtualbox, etc.
