How to determine the manufacturer of a mother board for driver for board

[sam_sam_sam]

The reason I am asking this question I have a mother board that I can not remember who made it and the hard drive got used in another computer

I want to maybe reuse this mother board again

So how do I figure out what drivers that I need

I planned on using Windows 7 on it

It is written on the motherboard somewhere, often somewhere between memory, bridge and processor socket. Otherwise, you can just get the HWID from Windows device manager and find the driver.

Check the cmos setup, it might contain the model number

You can install win7 on it (if it's USB 3.0 you'll have to slipstream the intel xhci drivers-if it's intel-amd ones if it's amd)

after that, you can search device ID's to determine drivers, or sometimes even CPU-Z can tell you the motherboard model if the cmos setup does not
