Go to solution Solved by chen57,

you dont "need" to install utilities, just drivers. this is for raid. if you dont use raid dont install it, its just a waste of time

I just updated my bios through Bios Flash and I'm unsure in which order I should do the motherboard drivers and utilities, my cpu drivers and windows updates. 

 

Does the order in which I do it matter? I was planning first do the motherboard drivers and utilities then the windows updates and lastly install cpu drivers.Can I do this?

Yes and both are the same so you can just download the driver directly (the one above) instead of the detection software.
