So I've got a fresh and clean W10 install running and I'm currently wondering if the next step on this new build is downloading ll the drivers and such?

Probably.. Unless you want to have awful screen tearing and performance.

EDIT: But let Windows update do it first, this will give you the clean, basic set.

I need S340. But more Define S'ish

ONLY on the drive that you installed Windows to. You should have installed Windows on the SSD.

 

Remember, drivers are like system files that make Windows better at "talking" and "understanding" your hardwares "language". They are extremely important.

WELL BALLS, I guess I have to wait another day or so since my license isn't valid. Crap.
