Explanation needed.
I really should know this, but for some reason have never had to do it and unsure exactly how. Exactly being the operative word.
Situation:
I have just built a z77 based system on a Gigabyte board.boots and runs fine on a new ssd. What I want to do is install the 2 x ssd from my existing Gigabyte AMD machine onto the new build. If I put them in and boots, it goes to desktop then , no USB keyboard or mouse found, screen fills with boxes for various drivers not found.......To be expected, but the drives and Win 7 installation are recognised fine. Just obviously needs appropriate drivers.
In an ideal world, if I had an optical driver disc and the motherboard drivers CD it would be straightforward, but I have neither.
Situations like this invariably get the response, " Simple, the drivers are on the Gigabyte website, and so they are. t how do I go about getting them on to my machine via USB stick? It is the exact sequence of events that has me stumped.
If I go to support/drivers, there they are. but then what? no way of just downloading them as they are to USB, I can only send them to my downloads ( this is on my old machine of course) then unpack them..Is that what I do? unpack them to usb? Then put the usb in the new build, boot, and expect it to find them? I really don`t want to just guess my way through, and any help via an explanation gratefully received.
PS both units run Win7 pro 64 bit, 2 different keycodes
