Can't find drivers

[StrugglingTechNerd]

I cant seem to find the drivers for my PC, it is an old PC, it's using the Intel Desktop MotherBoard DQ57TM with a Intel 82578DM Gigabit Network Connection adapter, i need the driver for the network adapter but it seems to be way too legacy, preferably all of the drivers but the Most important is the network adapter drivers

What OS?

So, first of all, there is no package that is designed to support Windows 11 that will also have support for the 82578DM device. This device was Discontinued before Windows 11 arrived on the scene. I do have Windows 10 packages that do have support for this device, however. Since they are too large to upload here, I've have placed copies of the v22.10 package in my Other Legacy Drivers share. You can download them from there.

Now, if your plan is to upgrade to Windows 11, note that, as I said above, there is no driver support for this device provided by Intel. If you install this v22.10 package into a Windows 10 installation and then upgrade to Windows 11, the driver may survive the upgrade process and thus retain support for this device. I am somewhat pessimistic, however.

Hope this helps,
