Question AMD Store MI required W11?

[Kandles]

Hello,

I have just built my first gaming PC. I am currently downloading drivers after installing Windows 11. I have downloaded all of my MOBO (B550 Aorus Elite AX V2) drivers and was interested in downloading a driver for my CPU (Ryzen 7 5800x). On the official AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800X Drivers & Support | AMD website the only option for Windows 11 is the StoreMI driver, I tried downloading and installing StoreMI, but it requires an SSD and a HDD. I only have two storage devices and they are a Samsung 980 PRO 1TB M.2 NVMe and a Samsung 870 EVO 1TB SATA 2.5" SSD. I don't have a HDD and was not planning on getting one. My question is, is it required that I use this driver for my CPU or is it an extra option that I don't necessarily need to download? I noticed that on the page (the one I linked) that it says in big bold letters "Drivers and Software". My thought at the moment is that it is a software more directed towards storage speed management and maybe I don't need it, I am not 100% sure if I should just skip it or I will just have to get a HDD.

Thanks.

StoreMi is useless for that configuration.

Your do NOT need it.

You would have been better looking for chipset drivers on the website for the chipset, and once there, you don't need raid or stormi
Gigabyte are way behind - https://www.amd.com/en/support/chipsets/amd-socket-am4/b550

Thanks for pointing that out. Just installed the chipset drivers.
