Are Motherboard Drivers Preinstalled?

[Darien4027]

Are motherboard drivers preinstalled on the motherboard so that as soon as I build my PC I can just boot to an OS from an external drive or do I need to install them? If I need to install them, how do I install them?
I am using this motherboard:

Thanks in advance.

Windows will try to install basic drivers for everything but you should get the latest drivers from the mobo manufacturers site and update them. Or, you can pre-download them to a usb stick and load them during a custom windows install.

The motherboard doesn't store it's own drivers, no. Windows comes packaged with a set of common drivers and Win 10 is particularly good at finding others through Windows Update though that's not exhaustive as there are too many components in use to have built-in support for all. The board should come with a DVD, and newer versions could be available on the mobo manufacturer's support website.

So as soon as I have built the PC, I can just boot to windows, go to the motherboard manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers for my motherboard (how will I use these downloaded drivers, is there just an application that I run?).
Do I need to worry about the disk that comes in the box and if I need to install stuff from the disk, how would I do that?
Also, can I enter the motherboard's BIOS without installing any drivers?

The BIOS setup utility is separate from drivers (which only apply to the OS). The disk that comes with the box should have all the needed drivers, but the ones on the website may be more recent versions. To run the disk, put it in the disk drive and run the utility.
