Correct Drivers for laptop

[Gigawatt]

Bought my wife a new SSD for her laptop and I am going through the install of windows 10. I went to the Acer website and found the correct drivers for her model of laptop, but the list of drivers has some of the same thing just named a little differently. I want to download the correct ones because it makes me nervous on making the right choice or not. Are these just the same drivers but through different vendors? 

Below are some screen shots I took of the drivers.

Install intel's driver update utility. It will install the most recent drivers for anything intel, though windows 10 does a decent job handling drivers on its own.

No, one is for Skylake platform, other is for Kabylake platform. It depends what kind of hardware the laptop has.

You can try all

If it is wrong then it wont install

Kabylake and Skylake are CPU micro-architectures so depending on what CPU is in the laptop will depend on which of those you chose.

If anything is listed as x86 or x64 you would chose based on weather you're running an x32 or x64 based OS. (not visible in photo but something worth noting.)

How do I know which one it is?  Kabylake and Skylake ? I looked in my device manager and didn't find anything.

Does this tool even update the correct chipsets?

You can go to device manager, click processor, then Google the name of the CPU and search around. Somewhere it'll tell you which architecture it uses.
