Which drivers are necessary?

chivs688 · 6 Aug 2015 at 11:16

Just done a clean install of Windows 10 on my laptop, and am looking through the list of drivers for it and am not sure which ones I actually need to download.

So far I've downloaded the Intel Chipset driver and the Touchpad driver program.

I'm looking through and am not sure whether I should download the Intel VGA Driver, Wireless LAN Driver (wireless is working, and which one? There's 3 different ones from different companies), Intel Management Engine Driver, Realtek LAN Driver, and/or Intel Rapid Start Tech Driver.

Any advice much appreciated, thanks.

Laptop make and model would help.

Check Device Manager and see what's missing.

I'd say if you weren't sure, to install all windows updates and check device manager. If things are working you're probably ok.

If in doubt, install all of them. If you don't, you could be missing out on some software features and functionality that you would otherwise not have without them.
