Question drivers installation from pc manufacturer website or windows update

[oliveria]

hello good people, I'm getting trouble with my dell precision 7720 over conflicting drivers that are making my pc run into multiple BSOD, when I check for example the Nvidia driver from dell we6, its older than the one in Nvidia website, the same applies to the intel graphics driver, generally the drivers from dell website seems to be outdated, should just install them after doing OS installation or should I use windows update to install drivers, when I run into BSOD like video tdr failure or page fault in non paged area, its very hard for me to identify the specific driver that is causing the conflict, when I install OS and download and install only the Nvidia from Nvidia website and the intel hd from intel website, the pc just works fine with those two drivers but I know the pc cant just have those two drivers only, later on when Windows update forcefully updates drivers, my pc runs into multiple BSOD, what's the best option to do, I've just installed a fresh windows 10 and planning to install drivers, will highly appreciate your help

Chipset and networking drivers from Laptop support site while you can download the latest provided by your GPU chip maker's support site, in which case is Nvidia. I don't let Windows download/install drivers it thinks is right for the platform since that usually results in instability or issues.

You can find all drivers for your dell precision 7720 using the serial number/service tag on the bottom of your laptop on Dell's support site.

Install the OS in offline mode(when dealing with Windows 10 or 11) then manually install all drivers in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.

Thanks for the reply, and what about the intel hd driver, should I download from intel website or pc website, and after doing the installation as you said, when Windows update later on takes place forcefully, is it going to override some drivers that I manually installed from Pc website and start causing issues ?,
