Well the drivers are probably one of the easiest parts. If you have any questions most of the LTT fourm should be able to help quick. However a basic rundown, just go to a manufactures website and find your product, download driver, install and repeat for other parts!

 

What if, your legs. Didn't Know. They were legs????

Windows update takes care of most drivers. They might not be bang up to date, but it's quick, easy and means they keep themselves updated. The only drivers you probably need the newest versions of are GPU drivers, which are easy enough to download from Nvidia's/AMD's website or get through GeForce/Crimson.

Usually you can get away without having to, Windows does that automatically in the background,

If you aren't comfortable building it yourself, call some local pc stores and see if they do assembly. But its actually pretty easy and fun. Watch some YouTube videos and take note of how they do it.

Those are usually found on the motherboard's website, along with LAN drivers, chipset drivers, and such. Just download all of the drivers from the site and install them all.

Windows will do that on its own. Video drivers are probably the hardest drivers to install and that is super easy. For Nvidia you just gotta download a program from their site and it downloads and installs the right driver. Not 100% sure about AMD, but I think it's very similar

Drivers? You just go on your motherboard maker's website and download the drivers there. It's that simple.
Not to mention, Windows 10 will automatically find most, if not all, the drivers you even need to begin with.
In the worse case, you should have a driver CD that comes with your hardware when you buy it, you just pop that in and a guide will walk you through the entire process.

 

Drivers is literally the easier part of PC building.

Heck, you could just post your build on here and someone will probably give you a list of all the things you should download, all you will have to do is install them.

Unlike with older computers(Pentium 4 era), modern Ethernet LAN generally support the generic driver that's already built-in Windows. Exactly so that a user would have Internet right away and thus get the rest of his drivers online without relying on the driver disc.

If the worst comes to the worst and you don't automatically have an ethernet LAN driver (which you almost certainly will), just install the one which is on the CD which comes with your motherboard. From there, windows update will do the rest.

Yes, very :) ! If you run into any problems, just post on here, look how many people are willing to help with a purely theoretical issue!

The installation process gives you a choice of which drive to install it on, or if you want to be super, extra, overly sure, just don't plug in the SATA and SATA power into the HDD until Windows is already installed on the SSD.

You just select the SSD. Windows 10's install process should show the Name and the Size of the SSD, meaning it should be easy enough to know which drive it is. Heck you could just UNPLUG the harddrive before starting the install process, to make it even easier for you. When it's complete, just plug it back in and that's that.

Having just built a PC from scratch for the first time, I can honestly say the software was the easy part.

I had done plenty of hardware upgrades, OS installs, etc. in the past so I felt pretty confident going in.

Assembling the PC was significantly more labour intensive than I thought. I took me more than a couple hours.

Took up my entire dining room table. Boxes, bags and manuals were everywhere. 

Handling a new case takes care and it starts to get pretty heavy as time goes on.

In the process I managed to knock over the the case side panel and crack the clear part.

 

I also had a bad sata cable from new which took a bit to figure out what was causing my new SSD to read as failed.

 

Overall it wasn't too bad. With only a couple of issues. Going in I thought it was going to be easy but my stress level got pretty high a couple times during the process.

 

What I can say is as long as you have another way to access the internet you should be able to find answers to any issues that come up.

if you don't feel comfortable building your own pc go to a local shop but i would suggest building your own and ask the local shop to help you do the aftermath (drivers, windows, etc.) and the experience and accomplishment of building your own is awesome

Build it yourself.

Drivers are absolutely no issue

  1. Use a different computer to download drivers from your motherboard manufacture's website and Graphics card manufacture's website
  2. Save these files onto a USB
  3. When you install windows onto the PC, plug in the USB and double-click all of them

As for building, just follow a LTT tutorial, really not hard. Nothing has changed as per hardware installation for AGES.

Someone else might have said this already, I'm too lazy to read the rest of the comments.

If I've said something wrong, please correct me
