Installing Drivers from a Zip File

[A Spicy Noodle]

I recently just built my computer and now I want to install my drivers.My motherboard is a MSI B350 PC MATE and I want to install it's drivers, but they come in a zip file. How do I download them from the zip file? As far as I know there are no exe files in the zip file.

If you don't have a utility to unzip the download just grab the free 7zip, and install the executable (.exe) file that will allow you to then unzip the drivers into folders where you can navigate to them if they are not executable driver installers.

I am able to unzip the file. I don't have any of those softwares installed, but in the folder there are no exe files so I don't know what to press to install the drivers.

In the device manager for any devices that do not have a driver installed should have a warning symbol. If you right click on the specific device they will have an option for you to update driver software and you can choose to navigate to the driver rather than letting the computer search.

Windows 10 should install many of the drivers from the MS drivers that it includes. If some don't show up you probably need to run the latest Intel chipset driver that you can download from Intel, and that should be an executable.

I'm not to clear on what you are saying as I'm not very good with computers, but there is no warning symbol I think they all have drivers but I want to get the drivers for my PC components. I heard that they may improve performance.

Well you can go through the devices in the device manager and right click and update them if you wish, but the W10 installed drivers should function as well as those that you downloaded.

The only drivers that really should make any difference would be using the newer graphic drivers for a discrete video card.

I feel like installing the drivers from the manufacturers site instead of letting device manager search for drivers. I didn't install any drivers but I think my GPU and CPU drivers are installed. I think I used GeForce Experience for the GPU drivers although I think I already had drivers before I updated them using GeForce Experience.

Then the way to do it is as I said; right click on each particular device that you wish to update in the device manager and select the "update driver software" choice.
