Good evening,

I am reaching out to you because I would like to install Windows 7 on my computer, but I'm unsure if my motherboard is actually compatible. It's an Asus M2N-SLI DELUXE. I used Windows 7 upgrade advisor and it advises me to check Windows Update for the ATK0110 ACPI UTILITY.

Thank you.

config>Windows XP / Internet Explorer 8.0</config>

    I checked with the manufacturer, the driver you are looking for is compatible: ATK0110 driver for WindowsXP/Vista/Win7 32&64-bit

    Here >>> http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/misc/utils/MB_WIN7_ATK.ZIP

    Edit: I changed the link ^^^

    Hello,

    No driver for Windows 7, try those for Vista >>> http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?modelname=M2N-SLI%20Deluxe&SLanguage=en-us

    See you!

    Hello
    on your motherboard, can you install all the systems without any problem? It's on your hard drive that the system is.

    Hi,

    On the official Asus website, the drivers are not available for Windows 7.

    However, it is often possible to install the Windows Vista drivers, which are generally compatible.

    I checked the Asus website https://www.asus.com/fr/

    My motherboard is an AMD AM2, so is it incompatible?

      yes, but let's imagine it doesn't work with the Vista drivers?

    Or is it possible that I wait for Asus to release drivers compatible with my motherboard?

    The AMD AM2 is a processor (AM2 socket) and not an operating system.

    Thank you pico.l
    So nothing is stopping me from installing Windows 7 then? However, I don't know how to do it because when I put the installation DVD, nothing happens under XP. I tried it under Vista on my other PC and it works, a window pops up when I put the DVD.
