Anyone know how to properly download and install drivers via Gigabyte website? I do not have a disc reader/bay installed and do not plan on putting one so I cannot use the provided DVD/disc that came with the MB.
I watched a decent number of videos on updating the BIOS so I will do it once I get some time. I seen one video that the guy (Carey Holzman via YouTube) recommended that you should update/flash BIOS right away before installing the OS. Will I be OK to update BIOS even though I have installed the OS and used the computer for about 2 + weeks now? Also, I went to Gigabyte website and had some trouble actually installing the drivers to my PC. For example, I downloaded the INF and installed it easily, even required restart, but when I did the Intel management engine interface it would only put the download in my download file under file explorer. I double clicked it and then "extract all" but nothing happened. Tried to browse it manually to update via device manager but it kept saying windows has the best drivers already installed even after I highlight that updated driver via browse and hit next. I had to go into device manager and manually browse my computer to apply the VGA update....is that normal? Sorry to ask so many questions but I'm such a darn noob at this stuff! LOL. Thanks again for all your help!
P.S.
In regards to file explorer downloads can anyone explain what extract means? Extract all means? Why it does not just download and install all in one linear process? What about a compressed file? Thanks!
