Step 15.1 : Installing Drivers and Software

In this final step, we'll show you how to install the appropriate drivers and software into Windows. Follow the steps as outlined in below and the next few pages.

When you're booted to Windows for the first time, you can check your system's status by right-clicking your mouse button on the 'My Computer' icon and choose the 'Properties' option from the pop-up selection menu.

You'll see the system's properties as shown above. Looks like everything's in order. Now, click the 'Hardware' tab above.

Then, click the 'Device Manager' button as shown above. You'll see a list of devices with a yellow question mark attached to them. These are some of the devices that Windows did not install or detect during the installation process. You'll have to install the drivers to enable and use these devices in Windows.

Insert the Gigabyte's driver CD. It should auto-launch and detect the components in your system.

You can see here that it has detected all the devices that hasn't yet been installed into the system. Click the button 'Xpress Install' to begin installing all the necessary drivers. This process is automatic and almost seamless.
