    Hello, question for an MSI rep (or anyone else who may know the answer). How come in your Support/Downloads page, none of the GT72 laptops that include (6th Gen) Processor have any Drivers to download? All I can see are Help Desk and Mouse Drivers.



    Examples provided below.

    Usually, use global site instead of the US site.

    It is confusing..... Try HERE..... I think this is the right one due to the HM170 chipset. Click on the 'Service' tab.

    Do you have the full SKU or Product ID number? The Amazon listing doesn't seem to show this, or I am just not seeing it.

    :)

    I don't see that on Amazon either. The best I could find on Amazon is ASIN B015YC8XN4. It's a bit weird how confusing MSI's sites are. What is the point of having different naming conventions in US and Europe?

    Or for example, take a different Amazon SKU, what would be the drives for this one? - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B015QD2TQS?psc=1

    I think at this point, I am really confused.

    To avoid licensing costs.

    The drivers should be the same regardless of the exact model. The only thing to be wary of would be the BIOS.
