    Doing Windows update vs. installing new Windows version ?


    Recently I built Windows 10 PC, installed Windows 10 vers 1909, and installed drivers from the disc supplied with the mobo. Thats it. I got side tracked with other things & never installed any apps.

    Should I do a Windows update or download & installed vers 2004 of Windows 10?

    Doing an update I wouldnt have to re-install the drives, but may have to deal with possible update glitches, I dont know.

    I just saw this.
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...ws10startfresh

    Clicking on the Download Tool Now brings up RefreshWindowsTool.exe.
    What is the RefreshWindowsTool? It appears to be Windows 10, but Windows 10 lets you create a USB installation thumb drive.

    :)

    Windows 7 wont install drivers

    i dont think anyone here understands what your asking either when its nearly a 90% english dominated Tech forum.
    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.
