I'm running Windows 10 64 bit and it downloaded and installed a Microsoft driver for my ethernet Intel® Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter.

Do you have any drivers for this product?

Your adapter has only "in Box support". You will not find a driver update.

Thank you.

What sort of implications does this have on performance and usability in the future?

[AlHill · Accepted solution]

You will not be getting any updates, enhancements, fixes, etc. Right now, it is what it is.

I suppose, with future update to W10, things could change (for the worse). If so, just find an add on card that is supported (PCI, PCIe x1) and gigabit, and you are good to go.

Thanks for the heads up. It’s concerning to learn that intel has little support for this matter. I have had similar problems in the past with support on certain intel products. Nevertheless I am satisfied with this company and the products.
