Review on GIGABYTE H310M M.2 2.0 Motherboard: LGA1151/ Intel/ H310/ Micro ATX/ DDR4/ HDMI 1.4/ M.2/ Top Performance & Connectivity by Brittany Jackson

Good price, Windows install driver issues (SOLVED)

This is a great value if you are building a simple gaming PC. Paired with an i5 9400-F, 16GB DDR4, 512GB NVMe and a Radeon RX 580. No problem, all hardware worked seamlessly together. However, if you're setting up a clean install of Windows 10 from a bootable USB, you might need to do a little fiddling to set it up. First, it took me a while to figure out that my 16GB USB drive would only boot on this board if formatted as FAT32, regardless of CSM mode or legacy USB support settings. This meant I needed an older version of my Windows 10 installation with files smaller than 4GB. I finally found the installation version of 1803 Win 10. The last piece needed were Gigabyte's storage drivers. I couldn't find them on the site to download this mockup so I contacted support directly and they provided a link. Can't paste it here, but if you google "gigabyte mb_driver_intel_bootdisk_irst_64_17.2.6.1027.zip" you should be able to find it.
