Installing drivers on a prebuilt gaming pc (problems with the motherboard drivers)

[Frostex]

I bought a new prebuilt gaming computer without Windows or drivers installed - you have to do this by yourself. I have never done this before so I am sceptical about everything I do. I hope somebody can help me with the correct way in installing drivers.

PC Specs:
Processor: Intel Core i7 4790 3.6 GHz, in Turbo mode 4.0 GHz
Motherboard: MSI H97 Gaming 3, 6×USB 3.0 RAID M.2 SSD slot
Graphics card: nVidia GF GTX970 4GB DDR5 MSI TF Gaming 2×DVI HDMI DisplayPort
Ram: 16 GB DDR3 1866MHz KIT Dual Channel (2× 8GB ) Crucial Ballistix Sport XT
Hard drive: 2 TB WD SATA3 , + SSD 240GB
Sound card: Realtek® ALC1150 Codec – 7.1-Channel High Definition Audio
OS: none


I installed Windows 10 (64bit) and then tried to install motherboard drivers that came with the computer on CD (Intel Motherboards Drivers & Utilities) - but there were no drivers visible to install. In the manual it shown that there should be at least 5 drivers. I searched for this problem online an I found that I wasn't the only one to have that problem. I found out that you can browse the folder where all the files are. By the looks of it you can install the drivers from there but there are too many files so I can't really be shure which one to install.
So I tried to find a different way. I tried to look for drivers online. Currently the computer doesn't detect internet cable or my second drive (probably because of the motherboard) so I coudn't download them directly. i found out that you can install drivers with the USB drive. I found this website with the drivers:
http://www.msi.com/product/motherboard/support/H97-GAMING-3.html#down-driver&Win10 64

Now I'm not shure which drivers do I install. Do I install all of them?

I have some other questions:
I also got another CD with graphics card drivers and msi afterburner. Do I use it or do I download drivers again? (I would probably download them)
Do I have to download anything for the sound card?
Do I have to do anything else?

Thank you for reading this and I would be really nice if someone can comment on things that I have done so far and what thigs do I have to do to solve my problem.

run windows update and it more than likely will grab what you need for the chipset and such.

also check the device manager and see if anything is listed as not installed yet. it will have a yellow exclamation point by it showing you it needs attention. if there is nothing with the yellow exclamation point then you don't need to install anything else. more than likely when you installed windows 10 it went online and grabbed everything it needed and you won't need to install anything else on your owm unless you want to. (such as beta gpu drivers or some such thing)

I would not rely on Windows update to get appropriate drivers. (Particularly LAN drivers, the driver that came with Windows 10 did not work on my system)

You are correct in going to the manufacturer's site, they will have the most up to date certified drivers.

Yes, you will want to to grab Chipset,LAN,Audio,Storage drivers. Basically everything listed under Drivers. You do not necessarily need the BIOS update, but that may improve compatibility or resolve known issues.

As Math Geek said, anything that shows as not installed in device manager will let you know if you missed anything.

GPU drivers should come directly from Nvidia: http://www.geforce.com/drivers
