yes, that is the safest way to get legit up to date drivers.

but for the most part the huge amount of drivers that are built in to windows 7 and 8 should be able to get you computer going.

 

important thing is to install Graphics drivers and chipset drivers (intel, AMD or 3rd part for USB 3.0 and things like that) and also sound card drivers if you have one.

Pretty much. Download the latest drivers for the features you need. 

There are often mobo drivers that you end up not needing.
