One quick question since nobody wants to answer my other post.Do chipset drivers actually improve performance.Someone told me this:
“Chipset drivers shouldn’t be touched no, those are the drivers for your motherboard. Unless you are installing some new hardware like a new cpu or gpu that requires a higher version of your motherboard then you will need to update it. In this case no don’t touch it your computer is already operating fine.”
So what do you guys get from that?
 
So Im most likely safe?

Guess so. Won't know until you finally try it.


And how would I get my key for windows?

Should be a sticker somewhere on Pre-built machines but don't need it though. Microsoft IDs the motherboard and assigns the key to it and stores the identification on their servers so Win10 will activate automatically when connected to the internet.
 
Nope, only if the PC blows up. Kidding 😊. Nothing bad will happen that can't be fixed. If anything does happen which it shouldn't then you have guides here how to proceed.

You're underestimating how easy PCs can actually be, just sometimes a little patience is needed.
Pc’s fail.They’re man made🤪
