Windows 10: Just did a clean install of Windows 10 on my new laptop, which drivers do I need to...

It's an ASUS Vivobook S15 D533IA. There's a whole bunch of drivers on the website, and some of them have multiple options, like "Wireless", how do I know which one to choose? Or do I download everything?

Wireless Version V2024.0.10.117 2020/05/063.98 MBytes Realtek Wireless Lan Driver and Application

DOWNLOAD Version V21.70.0.6 2020/04/2612.71 MBytes Intel Wireless Lan Driver and Application

DOWNLOAD Version V2024.0.10.111 2020/03/184.08 MBytes Realtek Wireless Lan Driver and Application

DOWNLOAD Version V20.70.13.2 2019/12/055 MBytes Intel Wireless Lan Driver and Application

DOWNLOAD Version V12.0.0.919 2019/11/153.5 MBytes Qualcomm Atheros Wireless Lan Driver and Application

and there's another tab next to "Driver & Tools" saying "BIOS & FIRMWARE", do I download all those over there too?

Also I used a USB to do a clean install of Windows 10, it was originally 128GB, I tried formatting it to bring it back to its original state, but now it's only 32GB?

Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?

Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.
