This may be a silly question, but imagine you got a completely new PC and have just installed Win10 on it - what EXACTLY do you do with drivers? I am already aware of your specific GPU's driver software from manufacturer's website. I am also aware of motherboard's LAN and Audio drivers.
What about Chipset drivers? I know there is .exe for that in both motherboard's website AND my CPU's (AMD) website. Which one do I need (or do I need both)?
What about motherboard's SATA drivers? I have downloaded some "PIDE/SATA Drivers" folder for my B450 Tomahawk Max but I can't even find any .exe file, it contains quite a few subfolders and at the end there are only 4 files - .cat, .inf, .sys and release_notes.txt. Do I even need sata drivers?
Do I need drivers for every single external device, such as mouse/keyboard/monitor/speakers/mic...? Are those even a thing?
What else am I not thinking of? I could not find any helpful guides/tutorials for that, so if you know of one, please share with me. All I find in every single PC problem solution guide is "make sure all your drivers are up-to-date" with no specification of what drivers do I need in the first place (probably self-explanatory to you tho).
