Windows automatically installs all the drivers you need.

[littlewallyone1]

are u sure?

 

 

[littlewallyone1]

there are no msi drivers on my pc

 

[Jihakuz]

First, just put all your questions in one thread please

Second, all you need to donwload is the geforce experience for your GPU and AMD Ryzen drivers.

Once you have installed the AMD drivers do this:

1) Type Power & Sleep into your windows search and then click on the top result

2) Go to additional power settings

3) In the new window click on AMD Ryzen Balanced power plan

 

Then youre done, you don't need to manually download drivers for anything else.

when installing the rysen drivers what do I select for my CPU?

 

[Jihakuz]

Yes

Most of the drivers (like USB and such) would already be included, but I would suggest going to the MSI website and downloading all the drivers there for the motherboard along with the GPU drivers from the nvidia website as some of the drivers downloaded by windows or the generic drivers that are used are either complete garbage or would be several versions out of date and would require going through another update process to get the latest version.

how do I run the MSI drivers?

do I just run the setup application?

You would need to extract the files from the archive first (done by right clicking the archive and selecting extract all) and once you go through about two folders you should see a file called setup which will be what you need to double click to get the installation procedure started.

 

While I would suggest getting all the drivers directly from the motherboard manufacturers website, this time I would suggest getting the LAN driver direct from the realtek website directly since they have a more current version.

The GPU driver is a lot simpler since the file you download is what you run to start the installation of the drivers and supporting software.

do I get the Win10 Auto Installation Program and can I delete the MSI thing that I downloaded after installation?

also, do I need the raid driver?

There's no CPU driver. Its included in motherboards chipset driver.

You can remove any files you've downloaded. Driver install as integrated parts of OS. You would need to go into device manager to remove drivers.

Not likely. If you don't know what RAID even is, then you don't need those drivers.
