    New clean install on Win 7 Pro Key


    Hi

    New install of Win 10 Pro appears to have installed all drivers, chipset, graphics audio etc.

    I previously downloaded all updated drivers that supported Windows 10. Would it be wise to update them or should I stick with the defaults that Windows has installed? Particularly with the chipset drivers. I have a feeling that these will in any case be the win7 or 8 drivers as my mobo is not officially supported for win 10 as yet and may not be.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi kevvyb and welcome to Tenforums.
    If everything seems to be functioning properly and there are no bangs in Device Manager, I would stick with what's been installed by the OS. If you begin to have issues, you could look at updating some of the drivers, depending on what issues arise. W10 has gotten pretty good at this, so, if it ain't broke...:) (Just keep your previously downloaded drivers in case you need them in the future.)
