So I have an asus ROG Strix z370e motherboard.I not going to buy an optical drive but I have most of my parts and I’m gonna be building my pc soon anyways I was just wondering about my question.My question is what drivers do I install on the motherboards website. For example for the LAN drivers do I need to install the 149.06 megabytes driver only or do I need to install the 149.06 megabytes driver and the 107.52 megabytes driver?Do I install all the files for every driver?
Another question I have is when I first get into the windows will I be able to connect to wifi without installing any drivers online.This is the motherboard website.https://www.asus.com/ca-en/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-Z370-E-GAMING/HelpDesk_Download/

Install the most recent driver from each:

LAN
AUDIO
CHIPSET
SATA
BLUETOOTH
UTILITIES install if you want to use them, AI suite etc.
Graphic Drivers get from Nvidia or AMD depends on the card you chose to install.

You will need the wireless driver to be installed to get connected to WIFI.

To get the wireless driver should I go onto my other pc install the latest driver from the motherboard website and put the driver onto a USB flash drive and then plug it into my new pc and then download it.

It is catch 22.
You need lan or wifi drivers to access the internet.
But... you need internet on your new build.....

A dvd drive, either via sata or usb is the best way.
But, otherwise, download at least the lan or wifi drivers on another pc and copy to a usb stick to install on your new build.

I might also advise against the simple "install all"offering on the included cd drive.
You will find yourself with trialware, monitors and other junk you may not want.
Install drivers only, at least initially.
