I bought MY first PC a few days ago.

CPU: Ryzen 5 2400G

NO EXTERNAL GRAPHICS CARD

Motherboard: Asrock A320M-HDV R4.0

The workers of the store built it & installed Windows, the drivers and a lot of unnecessary apps.

As I wanted a fresh INSTALL, I reset the pc bringing it home

I have downloaded & installed the drivers from Asrock's webpage.

But Do I have to install other drivers for CPU and GPU?????

I want to keep my softwares up to date.

PLEASE HELP

You have fresh install. Do not made it again - easier will be just uninstall soft you don't use. And apps that seems to be unnecessary, may be needed or useful, so as long as they do not slow down your computer, leave them. It's modern computer, not Atari 800XL, so it can handle lot of applications. More in this case means better. Especially when it's your first computer and you have no experience.

 

If it's your first computer, focus on some more interesting than installing the same system again. At least you'll not asking us after a while why something is not working and how to fix it.

You need the Ryzen 5 drivers, which are for the GPU and CPU:

P.S. it might be easier to reset Windows. Settings > Update and Security > Recovery > 'Get Started' under 'Reset this PC' and it gives you some options there. Like wanna keep the files and program or not? (probably not in this case) and do you wanna clean or fully clean the drive (the latter takes longer and only needed if someone else that is not you is going to use the PC).
