Windows 10: Do I need to update my SATA AHCI driver to Intel's version of the driver when I upgrade to...

I've just recently upgraded my laptop HDD to an SSD and clone the HDD contents to the new SSD. Do you think that I need to update my AHCI driver to Intel's AHCI driver or use the Standard SATA AHCI Controller Driver instead?

Intel AHCI drivers

IF, they are not the latest drivers, where are they coming from? Is Intel holding back? Is Microsoft holding back? Are they from the motherboard manufacturers?

Not trying to be confrontational...just want to know the source of the Driver as I believe that is what others are trying to express.

If they are indeed Intel drivers, why would they not be listed on their site?

 

Intel RST AHCI driver for ICH10R?

@FordGT90Concept If you're using AHCI, it may show up under "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" as a "Standard SATA AHCI Controller," and not as a "Storage controller" like a RAID driver would. My machine is in RAID mode but, I still see two of them for both the Marvel controller as well as the ASMedia eSATA controller and it's telling me that my 500GB Linux drive is removable. Sound familiar? I would download the latest version of the drivers from Intel's site for use during installation and install the AHCI driver manually and see if it will take. I suspect you're using the generic Microsoft AHCI driver and is listed like it is in the screenshot I attached.

In the Device Manager right-click the " Intel(R) 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller" > Update driver > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer

What is listed under Model (with "Show compatible hardware" "checked") ?

Is there a "Standard SATA AHCI Controller?
