Is it recommended to use the disc that comes with the MB or download the latest drivers beforehand from the internet to install on a USB key?
Do I have 30 days to get a Windows 7 License from the day I install the OS?

Yes, you have 30 days to activate windows, take your time there`s no rush.

Depending on how old the motherboard is, there may be newer drivers at the website, to me it doesn`t really matter, you can always use the disc then upgrade the drivers manually, there aren`t that many to even worry about.

The disc that came with my Sabertooth Z170 is awesome, just check what you want to install and you`re off.

Don`t ever loose that disc, put it right back in the box when you`re done with it :)
