You need Intel Chipset Driver first, then Intel Management Engine. The rest in any order: Realtek High Definition Audio Driver, Intel Network Drivers, ASMedia USB3.0/3.1 Drivers. Anything else is optional or tied to specific usage - in you don't use GPU you need Intel VGA Driver, and if you use Optane you need Intel Optane Memory. Latest versions of all drivers coming from motherboard site: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z270-GAMING-PRO-CARBON#down-driver&Win10%2064

So to confirm...Intel Chipset Driver, Intel Management Engine, Realtek High Definition Audio Driver, Intel Network Drivers, ASMedia USB3.0/3.1 Drivers, GPU drivers and I'll be good to go? No need for anything else right?
