I was wondering if the Intel Chipset Drivers that Windows 10 installs after a clean installation are sufficient or whether they are only basic/generic. That's why I was asking if you guys still install the Intel Chipset Device Software after a clean installation?
The order that I have followed in the past is as follows :-
1. At the Welcome Screen after a clean installation I leave the PC to sit idle for an hour to give it time to finish off any background updating activity.
2. Then, I restart the PC and check for Windows Updates to bring the system right up to date.
3. Then, I go to the Dell website, install Dell Support Assist and allow it to update any drivers that it recommends.
The Dell Support Assist software can sometimes be a bit flaky. Sometimes it shows the Intel Chipset Device Software as a recommended update and sometimes its missing from the list of recommended drivers to update. That's another reason that causes me to ask about whether the Intel Chipset Device Software should be updated after a clean installation or not. A Dell technician has told me in the past that if Dell Support Assist doesn't list the Intel Chipset Device Software as a recommended update that I should manually install it instead which has given me the impression that it is always necessary to update the Intel Chipset Device software after a clean installation
