Before upgrading to Windows 10, should I go ahead and go to the websites of my computer hardware and download new drivers and install them, or will windows take care of that for me?

you should install those after windows 10 finishes installing

 

it will take care most of the drivers (if you choose "keep your apps and data") but might miss some

long as you have another pc hooked up to internet

and you have backed up your files

your fine

you can get any drivers from the net after 

 

after the upgrade...you should do the clean install

You can go ahead and download the drivers before installing, just to be on the safe side.

 

Personally I've only had to reinstall the Killer E2200 driver and the AMD GPU drivers (which wasn't necessary, but since there was a new version available I went ahead and did it anyway)

Get Nvidia patch 353.63, if you have a Nvidia GPU, otherwise it will take care of them for you.
