Now that I've switched OS Drive (HDD to SSD), should I reinstall Motherboard drivers?

Hi,
A little while back, I upgraded my system with a new motherboard, CPU & RAM, and installed drivers for said components on my old HDD.
I got an SSD a couple of days ago, and I installed my OS on it (HDD physically removed from PC before doing so) and when I went into the BIOS to change the boot order to my flash boot drive, I noticed that the updates to my BIOS still resided (presumably on the motherboard's internal storage?)

So here's the question:
Do I need to also install the motherboard drivers again, or were they not saved on the HDD either, and rather on the motherboard itself?

Side question:
If I am to install the drivers (Asus H110M-A m.2), how do I go about it?

Last time, I simply downloaded the drivers from this page:
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/H110M-A-M-2/HelpDesk_Download/
Namely BIOS, AUDIO, LAN, Utilities, Chipset & SATA.

Then clicked the 'Asus install' files that I was able to find, and despite not trusting it to be this easy, a little googling seemed to vaguely suggest that should do the trick, but if someone knows a surefire way to do it, I'd appreciate you'd lend me that knowledge as well.

Thanks in advance!
 
Solution
Yes.
You need to do everything you did the first time you installed on the old HDD.

The BIOS update remained, because that is part of the motherboard.
All the others are part of the OS.

And yes, it is that easy.
