    Yes, but they won't bother you. It works for Windows 10 and 11.

    You should seriously consider going back to Windows 10 because there are clearly no drivers for WIndows 11, and I would only expect Windows 8 drivers (the last ones posted) to work into WIndows 10.

    To go back to WIndows you'd need to do a Clean Install. Do this Gold standard Clean Install which compiles the best possible Install of Windows which will stay that way as long as you stick with the tools and methods given, has zero reported problems, and is better than any amount of money could buy: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki.... Read over it first, take notes, ask back any questions so you're prepared.

    To create bootable Windows 10 Installation Media (on another PC if necessary) install Media Creation tool and follow the steps toward the bottom of the download page here in the section "Using the tool to create installation media:"

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/software-downlo...

    Insert media, boot it by powering up PC while pressing the BIOS Boot Menu Key for your PC maker given in this chart: https://www.sysnative.com/forums/hardware-tutor...

    If the media won't boot you may need to enter BIOS/UEFI Setup (pressing key given in chart in link above) to turn off Fast Boot or Fast Startup first.

    Choose the boot device as a UEFI device if offered, then on second screen choose Install Now, then Custom Install, then at the drive selection screen delete all partitions down to Unallocated Space to get it cleanest, select the Unallocated Space, click Next to let it create and format the needed partitions and start install - this makes it foolproof.

    There is a step to rescue your files first using the booted media if you don't have them backed up: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...

    You will get and keep the best possible install to the exact extent you stick with the steps, tools and methods in the linked tutorial. It's a great learning experience that will make you the master of your PC because you will learn everything that works best and how to apply it with your own hands.

    Feel free to ask back any questions. Report back results for more steps if necessary.

    I just checked again and all I find is the Version 9 Intel 3000 driver which was the last one posted by Asus on the Windows 8 downloads page for your model.

    The reason I suggest Driver max is they have the largest catalog of drivers, they do a search using the long hardware ID and can find a match even for another brand PC, so it is worth a try as a last resort.

    There's a thread here where many people requested download package offered of all the installed drivers until it was posted as a download, but they are also for Windows 8 and would likely not be any newer than the last drivers posted on Asus downloads page. But you can try it anyway:

    https://www.tenforums.com/drivers-hardware/9350...

    I wish I could find a newer driver but everything dead ends at Version 9, so if you said you found Version 10 that may be the newest.
