Allow Win7x64 to get drivers?
I was wondering....
I know that windows 7 will find drivers that i need for most things, but my question is letting Windows Update finding the optimal drivers better than downloading the latest from the manufacturer prior to installing windows? For instance, better functionality, less conflict, etc.
I know some drivers are hard to find, even at the manufacturers site, for some odd reason but i usually can manage it. I allow win7 to find drivers that i cannot. I hate how most manufacturers do not give you specific instructions on which order to install, or how to even use them. Only a description of what it applies to, which even then is vague at times. But most times i make do.
So, just to summarize.... Would you guys prefer downloading the latest drivers from the manufacturer... or allow win7 to do it? Where does windows get the drivers it finds, anyway? From the last time it checked with the manufacturer?
Also, How would pull the list of drivers a current computer is using and compile them to a disc? Or better yet, find a disc that has drivers for almost everything on disc (or 1 million lol). If i must make another thread on this let me know.
Sorry if this is a noobie question, but i dont care i will learn how not to be, eventually. LoL.
