Windows 10: How do I know if I need to update to these drivers

Or if the ones I have are up to date? Thanks!

I want to know if I need this latest update.

At the 'Start screen' type 'winver' and post details of current Windows - version & build.

No you most probably do not need the latest updates, but updates contain up to date system & security fixes, plus some new features, so if you are running W10, why not have the most recent build / version.

I general with the new system of updates you can not fully stop updates but you can defer them (it's called Windows As A Service (WAS))

Personally I run W10 with all updates with no problem on 5 devices.

 

I want to know if I need this latest update.

I'm not a pro user, so it's intimidating when I see these updates. I wanted to see the feedback by users, not employees selling the update, know what I mean.

Windows 10 and Uncle MS take care of (most of) your drivers automatically. Not some external devices of course.

If you install drivers different to Uncle MS's list he will likely replace them.

Basic rule: don't fix what isn't broken. Unless there is specific justification and all is working, leave well alone. To keep a different version of driver to what Uncle MS prescribes you need to take special action (see Tutorial section).
