    You probably don't. Windows 10 is pretty good about detecting hardware and downloading the drivers it needs, but the CPU and motherboard themselves don't actually need drivers aside from "optional" things like integrated audio and graphics acceleration. Worst case scenario it doesn't work and then you do a fresh install, but it will probably work.
