What Motherboard drivers do i need?

[koperan]

Hello

I have ASrock z370 Extreme4 and I want to do a clean install of windows to start fresh but I dont know which drivers on ASrocks website are necessary. When i first got the MB 3 weeks ago I installed all of them just to be safe but i have no idea what some of these programs do and if they are even needed. I dont have a CD drive so i cant use the cd that came with the MB... but when windows booted up the first time everything seemed fine with out all the stuff i downloaded.

Thank you!

From top to vga driver (start installing with chipset driver).
You can skip Optane drivers, if you don't have that hardware.

Yeah, Win10 has a really good reputation these days for loading really good drivers for almost everything but discreet GPUs, and it even does a decent job with getting them started. Frankly, if everything is working, I wouldn't load the motherboard drivers (and ESPECIALLY don't load Norton Security!!!).

Chipset drivers are still mandatory. Without them some hardware may not even be detected.
