Drivers install order mistake

[Thomas4711]

I am currently doing a fresh HDD install and fresh windows 10 installation. Mobo is Asus M5A78L-M USB3, Wi AMD FX 4170 CPU. However I have drivers on my Microsoft account that have went onto my desktop at start up which is great but my chipset driver, which I see is advised to install first. My progress so far is updating Windows 1803. Will the drivers from my Microsoft account have installed or do I have the chance to go and install chip driver now.
What will I do ? Thanks

I wasn't aware that an MS Account would store drivers, other than perhaps driver installer package exe or zip files stored in your OneDrive.

MS does auto-install driver(s) upon Win10 fresh or Upgrade (major) installation, for your hardware, but those aren't stored in your MS Account.

If you're asking if you should manually install your mobo maker's listed "chipset drivers", after MS has auto-installed drivers during a fresh / upgrade install, that's up to you. I would see if there are any "System"-type devices listed in Device Manager that need drivers, or if the chipset driver package that you have is newer than the auto-installed drivers.

There's no proper order. WIndows 10 has many of the necessary drivers already and will install them for you. All you have to do is install any specific drivers for things it doesn't have a driver for or that have specific software like RGB lighting controls, some of the ASUS tools for audio or controlling overclocking from within windows. Stuff like that. Most of the things I mentioned don't applky for your board though.
