I know Boot Camp can be a bit funny about drivers sometimes.

I've got a need for a Windows machine, nothing fancy and the OS version isn't important. It's going to be local with no internet connection and effectively running headless.

I decided to repurpose my old 2009 Mac mini. I installed OS X from recovery and have set up Windows 7 Pro using Boot Camp. I know it's just out of support but that's not a problem.

Windows Update is offering me a couple of drivers.

Should I install these or just go with what I've got already?

Thanks.

Tricky one as the graphics HW used in Macs is always tweaked to work well with Mac OS. Never had a problem with graphics drivers myself, but then I always ran Windows as a VM on Macs.

I’d give them a try, but be ready to uninstall if the machine gets twitchy.
