right, start with getting windows running and let update do its thing. once update has finished, then look at device manager and see if anything needs a driver.

then, go back and look for one. saves a ton of time gathering drivers you don't actually need.

You should typically install the latest ones for your os. The chipset drivers and gpu drivers will be the biggest. As far as audio, ethernet etc, you can download them from the web also, but many times windows seems to do well at finding those on it's own.

yeah that i am talking about
for sure i need Intel Chipset Driver and wifi and BT driver
also i dont need On board vga but 1- what about Audio Drivers why they have 2 driver over ther ?
2- what about On-Board SATA AHCI/RAID Drivers ?
3- and most important quation is in Others Drivers there is a Intel Management Engine Driver ( what is this? ) and Intel Serial IO Drivers do i need these?
