Any order in installing windows/motherboard drivers?

[The_747]

After building a PC, should you install windows first, the motherboard drivers first or doesn't it matter in the grand scheme of things?

Motherboard drivers MUST come first. Then your partition manager [if any] and then the operating system [Windows for you].

If it is Win 10 it should have most basic drivers needed untill you can D/L the latest ones.Win 7 should be mostly the same.

And how, exactly, would you install things like a partition manager without the OS?

Dave -- not knowing the specific motherboard in question, or any fancy unusual hardware it may have, the safe thing to do is install the mobo drivers first.

And as above, how do you do that without an OS?
