Installation Order.

[Gazeley]

Sorry if, I'm making a mess of the windows forums.

However, I was wondering what needs to be installed first Windows 10 or drivers for things such as graphics cards and wifi adapters etc. Basically, what order should everything be installed to a newly built pc?

I'll be buying Windows 10 from here as it has both license and disk https://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-Windows-Professional-Bit-OEM/dp/B010S3VVJW/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 is this a legitimate copy?

It doesn't really matter. 

 

That version doesn't seem to be legit, but this is https://www.amazon.co.uk/Windows-Professional-32-bit-English-International/dp/B0111YEG44/ref=sr_1_3?s=software&ie=UTF8&qid=1472668082&sr=1-3&keywords=windows+10+pro

 

With windows 10 it will install most drivers(wifi, gpu, nic) in the background in the first hour or two if you just let it sit there.

@Electronics Wizardy But I'll still have to use disks to install thing like RX 480 drivers even if I leave it a while right?

It will install the gpu drivers just fine if you have internet.

 

You don't need a disk, use a cd.

@Electronics Wizardy So basically get windows installed, install wifi adapter using cd and then the drivers for the gpu can be found online?

1. Install windows

 

2. Check for wifi, if you see your network, no need to install wifi drivers, there already there.

 

3. Once you have internet, let it sit overnight or for a hour or two. You should amd stuff if you right click on the desktop. If a you can't use part of the hardware(like a raid card or audio) then install drivers, but you should be just fine.

 

With windows 10 you can normally get away without installing any drivers as there installed from windows update. Its gotten much better than windows 7.
