Required drivers (Windows 10)

[VoyexTech]

I built a new computer and I want to know what ate the drivers that I am going to need to run my system and use an Ethernet connection 

 

(I dont care if I I can't hear anything I just want to be able to boot to windows 10 and then I'll download all the other drivers off the internet from there)

you dont need any drivers to boot windows 10...

in fact you cant install any drivers until youre in the OS lol

 

windows 10 will install pretty much everything for you except your GPU drivers

if windows 10 doesnt detect an internet connection then you need to install the LAN drivers from your motherboard CD

Ok why did I have an issue when resetting my pc last time?

Windows has most of the basic drivers included(network, sound, vga) The only time you need a driver during a install is if your install on to a raid card or something weird like that.

win 10 should have MOST ethernet drivers

wireless is another story

win10 is a HUGE improvement in driver detection, i'd say its almost up to par with most of the linux spectrum, to the point it comes down to both sides just having their issues.

What ate the drivers? if it's Internet browser related it could be the cookie monster? maybe you're a victim of a pig-in-the middle attack?

 

Every Windows install nowadays has basic drivers to connect to most "usual" hardware types. Windows will detect there's a monitor hooked up, grab a monitor driver off the Windows installation media & install that. it'll be basic - maybe only supporting 1024x768 resolutions & 32-bit colour depth, but you'll have some driver installed to work with & be able to see an output on your screen because of it. Out of the box if you choose the default install options and enter the network connection details during the setup wizard process, you'll find Windows will send the make & model codes of your individual hardware pieces to the Microsoft servers - their massive database (perhaps integrated with other vendor databases too) will then be searched and the most recent, stable version of that hardware's driver will be automatically downloaded and installed without you ever having to search for it (on a vendor's site, on a cd etc.). It's all automated nowadays. You young whippersnappers don't know how good you've got it.. I remember my 1.44" disks... mumble... rant....
