Windows 10 Pro Fresh install questions

[GrenPa]

Hello,

I have Windows 10 Home but will be wiping soon to do a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro.
But I have a couple questions about doing that.

When I do the fresh install I know some MOBO's have drivers that need to be used during the install and some after the install.
But I have been told by some people that I can ignore the chipset drivers that are normallly installed during the Windows install.
So my question is what is the correct process?

My Mobo is special and no puplic manual is available and the maker ASUS will not supply one and they say to take computer to a shop.
Which makes no sense as they say they will not supply mobo manual to them either.

So should I just install Windows 10 PRo and then install all the drivers and Programs for my system?

I have to do a fresh install because of system issues, so that is why I decided to install Windows 10 Pro Retail.

Thats it for my questions.
Thanks in advance
GrenPa

Hi GrenPa,

Don't worry about drivers, any driver Windows needs will be installed during the installation process, after Windows is installed you can update them from ASUS.

I agree - forget about the drivers.

Windows will more than likely have what you need.

Glad to hear that you're wiping the drive too.

Hello,

I decided not to wipe and instead ordered a larger SSD for my c: drive.
I hope it should arrive within 7 days.

Thanks for your help.
