I visited Asus website to download drivers for my Maximus v gene motherboard, so that I could install windows 10 (64 bit) on it. Some drivers are beta version, can I go ahead and install windows on my motherboard. Will windows 10 be stable on my motherboard.
 
Solution
i wouldn't install anything from the drivers website. because of the age of that board windows 10 will have all the drivers already included or will install them via windows update.

depends on how you got windows 10. did you purchase a copy of it?

 
I have a key code (purchased)

 


is it a key for windows 10?

 
Correct....key code for windows 10

 


then you will not need to bother installing windows 7 first.

 
My system is running on windows 7.
So should I do a clean install or update it?
