Hello everyone,
I've got a new build in the works here, the parts are on the way if not here already, and I am preparing a bootable windows iso usb that also has my drivers on it (i think that works but let me know if there are issues with doing that).
I've placed the latest GPU drivers on it, but I'm much more confused when it comes to the MOBO drivers. Here's the download site for my motherboard:
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5498#dl
(windows 10 64 bit btw)
it's the Gigabyte Gaming 5 z170x, but I'm not sure if it's rev 1.0 or 1.1, which I might not be able to find out until it gets here and I look at the physical board. Is there some guarantee that it would be 1.1 because I got it so recently?
I see the following drivers for it:
Audio:
-Realtek HD Audio Driver
-Creative SB X-Fi driver
Chipset:
-Intel Management Engine Interface
-Intel INF installation
LAN:
-BigFoot LAN driver
SATA RAID/AHCI:
-Intel SATA Preinstall driver
-Intel® Rapid Storage Technology
-Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5
USB 3.1:
-Thunderbolt Driver
VGA:
-Intel VGA Driver
WLAN+BT:
-BT Driver
-WLAN Driver
Should I download all of these onto the USB stick? Or just the LAN one and then download the rest? Or just the LAN and Chipset, and then download the rest? Or, are there some of them I don't need at all?
Also, what's the order of things here? Is it:
1) Boot and Install Win10
2) Install LAN and Chipset drivers from USB
3) Restart?
4) Install all the windows updates (repeatedly restarting)
5) Install the rest of the mobo drivers
6) Install the GPU drivers
Or should 5 and maybe 6 be done at the same time as 2?
I'm pretty thick when it comes to drivers, and all the tutorials I have been able to look up, written and on youtube, are assuming a lot of knowledge on my part when it comes to what exactly needs to be installed, and in what order.
Thanks for any help
