Some MSI motherboard owners are looking for drivers for the N1996, but this has never worked for anyone. In today's article we will understand this topic, tell you what N1996 really means and show you how to choose software to your system board.
The fact is that the number N1996 is not at all a motherboard model, but only denotes a vendor code. Even representatives of the company paid attention to this so that the owners of the products would no longer have any questions. From this we can conclude that it is necessary to search for drivers for a different device model. Our other article at the link below will help to determine it, and now we will consider possible options finding and installing software.
Method 1: Official MSI Resource on the Internet
First, let's take a look at the most effective method - downloading files from the official website. However, it is not the easiest one, since you need to download programs separately for each component of the board, which will take a lot of time. The advantage is this method is that you are guaranteed to get the freshest, tested and most suitable files for your equipment. The process of finding and loading is as follows:
- Using the link above or by entering the address in any convenient browser, go to home page MSI site.
- Move the mouse cursor over the text box "Support" and click on it. From the pop-up menu, select "Downloads".
- You can manually enter the hardware type, platform, socket and model, and then go directly to the page with all the available files.
- If the method with manual input seems complicated and time-consuming to you, just type your board model into the special search line and select the appropriate result.
- Move to section "Drivers".
- Now select your operating system and its bitness. It is important that this parameter is specified correctly, otherwise a compatibility issue may arise.
- Expand the required category of drivers or, if you need to download everything, do it one by one.
- Select a file, version and click on the corresponding button to start downloading.
- Open the downloaded directory through any convenient archiver and run the file to install the software on your computer.
Method 2: MSI Live Update Utility
MSI designs a wide variety of computing devices, from graphics cards to gaming mice. Almost all of their products require the installation of drivers and their subsequent update, so the logical decision was to release their own utility to update all proprietary components. She will help you find the files for the motherboard.
Method 3: Third Party Software
If the first option does not suit you due to the need to download files separately and the second is also not suitable for some reason, we recommend that you pay attention to additional software. Such programs will automatically scan the hardware and download the appropriate drivers via the Internet. You only need to do some preliminary preparation, and the selected software will do the rest. You can find the best representatives of these applications in our other material at the link below.
Some of the most popular are DriverPack Solution and DriverMax. We advise you to take a closer look at them if you have chosen this method. Detailed instructions on the use of these programs, look in our other articles at the links below.
Method 4: Hardware ID
Each component motherboard assigned its own unique number... Thanks to him, through third-party services, you can download the appropriate driver. The disadvantage of this option is that for each component you will need to separately recognize the identifier and download the software, but this way you will definitely get the working software. Read more about this topic in the article at the following link.
Method 5: Standard Windows Function
Operating room Windows system allows you to download and install drivers for the necessary devices without third-party sites and software. This method is applicable to the components of the motherboard. Meet with detailed guidance on installing files with built-in OS tools in another material from our author.
Above, we tried to tell as much as possible about all available ways finding and installing the driver for the MSI motherboard. We hope that we have clearly explained the situation with the number N1996, the definition of the equipment model, and now you have no questions about this.
