How to use this page
Device Driver Guide does not host installers. Read the family page for the hardware you own, work out which package applies to your exact model and Windows edition, then use the official-source citation provided for that decision. A component-branded family may still require the company that built your computer or motherboard rather than MSI; follow the declared package source on the family page.
Reference coverage is recorded separately for each family in the comparison below, not as one compatibility list for this manufacturer. These labels describe the scope of the reference, not certified compatibility or continuing Windows support. Confirm the exact device or PC model, hardware revision, Windows release, and package requirements with the manufacturer before making a change.

MSI provides card-specific utilities for monitoring, fan curves, and light clock tuning on its graphics cards, and OEM packages for its systems. As with other board partners, the display driver that actually renders comes from NVIDIA or AMD, while the MSI software is a companion layer.
Reference coverage: 10/11 only where the selected package lists this GPU or PC model
Read the full family referenceCard Readers
MSI laptops that include a card slot use an integrated controller whose driver MSI lists per model. The dependable version is the one on your exact laptop's support page, validated against the firmware in that unit.

Read the full family referenceBios & Uefi
MSI laptop firmware covers gaming and productivity lines such as the Stealth, Katana, and Prestige, and it is distinct from MSI's desktop Click Bios. Each model has its own firmware from MSI, so use only the file listed for your specific laptop.
Reference coverage: 10/11 only where listed for the exact model and firmware package
Read the full family referenceMonitors & Displays
MSI publishes monitor identity and color files for its Optix, MAG, and MPG display ranges, mostly gaming-oriented panels with high refresh rates and curved formats. The INF helps ensure Windows reads the full mode list, and the profile sets the factory color starting point.
Reference coverage: 10, 11
Read the full family referenceBluetooth
MSI motherboards that include wireless carry an onboard Bluetooth radio whose driver is published alongside the board's other components. The wireless chipset varies by board generation and tier, so the package is keyed to the exact model rather than shared across the range.
Reference coverage: Varies by exact radio or peripheral model, package, and release; verify the official support page
Read the full family referenceMotherboard Chipset
MSI's chipset drivers are keyed to individual boards, delivering the AMD or Intel platform package validated for that model. On a self-built MSI system this tested version keeps the board's controllers, USB descriptors, and power tables aligned with the firmware.
Reference coverage: 10/11 only where listed for the exact platform package
Read the full family referenceEthernet & LAN
MSI LAN packages are selected by exact motherboard and controller. Verify the board revision, controller identity, package notes, and Windows release.
Reference coverage: Varies by exact controller, hardware revision, system or board package, and release; verify the official support page
Read the full family referenceNetwork & Wi-Fi
MSI provides wired and wireless network drivers per motherboard model, matched to the Ethernet controller and any onboard Wi-Fi card that board carries. Since the underlying chips differ across boards, the matched package for your exact MSI model is the more dependable one.
Reference coverage: Varies by exact adapter, system or board model, package, and release; verify the official support page
Read the full family referenceStorage & NVMe
MSI provides storage controller and Raid drivers for its desktop motherboards, listed by board model on MSI support. They handle the Sata and NVMe controllers on the board and are required for Raid configurations.
