Hi all

I've just bought an Asrock ITX motherboard for the kids' sitting room gaming box and was wondering if I need to bother installing the driver packages from the Asrock website?

I have previously done this under the impression it was necessary, but then thought about how often I think about I update these (never) and wondered if this is still a thing?

Windows says I already have all the necessary drivers already and everything seems to be working perfectly. I tried updating the Intel LAN driver with a driver package I downloaded from Asrock and Windows told me I already have the best driver.

I don't need the audio one as it's through the nVidia GPU; should I bother with the chipset and LAN drivers, or will Windows 10 have already sorted this out for me?

Cheers.
