Question - should I install the MB manufacturers drivers or not?
Whenever I reinstalled the OS, or installed the OS for the first time on one of home/custom-built machines, I always installed all of the drivers from the MB manufacturers' site before the first Windows Update ran.
The machine I working on now is built on a Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 motherboard. Should I install Gigabyte's drivers first (such as the Intel INF, MEI, and RST, Realtek's LAN/Sound, VGA, and the Etron USB3.0 drivers) then let Win10 overwrite them if it wants to on the first Windows10 update?
One consideration is that Gigabyte doesn't have any drivers for (Win10). Win8.1 drivers the latest.
Also note that I already did a clean install to this system with Win10 10074 (without any Gigabyte drivers) and it looks fine, except there are some "devices" listed such as "coprocessor" and "multimedia" that did not install.
The next clean install in this machine will be when Win10 RTM is released, and I want to do it correctly.
Thanks
