Quick question: my PCIe Wi-Fi card is from an old build and Id like to use it in my current PC 🔥 ECS offers Nvidia MCP61 Driver. Does anyone have experience with this kinda thing? :D i dont mind some tinkering, but i dont want a security risk or random blue screens. If anyone has been through this with a similar old adapter, Id love to hear how it went and whether ud do it again or just buy a new one. im about to throw this thing out the window lol
When To Give Up On An Old Network Adapter And Just Replace It lol
sorry forgot to say the hardware ID is listed in the INF of Nvidia MCP61 Driver, so it should be supoprted. hope thats enough info 😅
at this point my GPU cost more than my car lol
oh ive been there lol search teh Microsoft Update Catalog for teh hardware ID. older adapters often have drivers there, even if teh vendor site no longer lists them.
oh ive been there lol drivers for older Windows vresions sometimes work on newer ones, but they may fail driver signature requirements or core isolation (Memory integrity).. 🤦 if Windows blocks it, dont disable security features just for an old adapter. worked for me anyway 🤷
@jarslan WOWWW decided to retire the PCIe Wi-Fi card. the new one works without any driver install at all.
