windows 7 drivers help

[Guest]

So when I install windows 7 onto my new pc, what kinda drivers will I have to download and install? wireless? graphics card?

I would install drivers in the following order:

- Chipset
- Ethernet/Wireless
- Video
- Audio
- Then check Device Manager for missing drivers under Other Devices

Windows 7 will include the drivers needed to get you going.
Your motherboard driver cd will include chipset drivers for the rest. Notably, the lan or wireless drivers which let you connect to the internet.
I install the cd drivers first(only the drivers, not the included junkware/utilities)
On connecting to the internet, I install ms security essentials first. It is free and unobtrusive.
The graphics drivers come next so I have full monitor resolution.
I then update windows to currency.
Normally, I do not update any chipset drivers unless I have an issue.
