[Fresh Windows install on my PC] Windows drivers or provider drivers?
Hi guys,
It feels like forever since I’ve installed Windows on a PC.
I got my 2018 Acer Nitro 5 and I’m waiting to do a clean install now. Provider drivers are outdated af (2017/2018). Is there any reason not to let W10 do all the driver stuff?
I remember there was a time when I’d turn off the network, install the drivers from the provider (this laptop doesn’t even have a CD slot lol) and then turn network on and let Windows update them. I’ve had issues in the past with certain drivers (e.g. integrated Intel GPU on my old Lenovo) that seemed to be different between the provider and Windows Update.
Thanks!
