Drivers for windows 10 upgrade

I am looking to do a clean install of Windows 10 at the weekend but there are no Windows10 drivers for my motherboard (GByte GA-880GA-UD3H AM3). Would it be better to use the Windows 8.1 drivers or just the default windows ones if detected?

With mine it picked up most of them by default, then I just installed the rest using 8.1 drivers as you suggested.

Should be fine but I would suggest doing a clean install from usb and not the windows 10 reset so as to have the ability to preinstall the AMD SATA AHCI Driver which has to be done prior to the install, you can do this on the screen where you usually format and choose the hdd for the install, bottom left side if memory serves me correct.After that windows 10 should find everything else or use it's own generic drivers.

It's also probably a good idea to have the Realtek LAN Driver on a ubs stick as I have had friends on several gigabyte boards have no internet while performing a clean install..

Thanks for that, I will download the drivers anyway just in case and look for the AMD AHCI option
