  1. Question about Intel Chipset Device Software


    After a clean installation of Windows 10 there is a notification to tell me I need to reboot to finish installing the Intel Chipset drivers. After a reboot and checking for Windows Updates the system is then brought fully up to date.
    Is it still recommended to then go to the manufacturers website and install the Intel Chipset Device software from there afterwards?
    Taken directly from the Dell website for the Service Tag of my PC the following is what it says under Important Information for the Intel Chipset Device Software.
    "The INF files provides the operating system (OS) with information about the hardware on the PC. This allows the OS to show the correct name of hardware in the Device Manager.
    Note: The chipset software does not install drivers for AGP or USB or resolve issues with these ports.
    Intel Chipset Device Software uses an older date for the devices it is targeting. The date 07/18/1968 is symbolic.
    Intel was founded that day. The reason this date is used is to lower the rank of Intel Chipset Device Software.
    This is necessary since it's a supporting utility that should not overwrite any other drivers. You do not need to update Intel Chipset Device software."

    I am confused why it says that You do not need to update Intel Chipset Device software?

    :)

    Tip Want to save time? Not sure if you need this file?

    Run this easy to use Intel® Driver Update Utility and it will "automatically" tell you if you need to update your chipset INF file, and if so, will prompt you to install and you are done. This will save you a lot of time not only on your chipset download but the most common files needed for your system.

    Name changes:
    Intel® Chipset Device Software is the new name for the Intel® Chipset Software Installation Utility; this name will be seen when running the installation package.

    About this file/download:
    The Intel® Chipset Device Software installs the Windows* INF files. An INF is a text file that provides the operating system with information about a piece of hardware on the system. In the case of the current Intel Chipset Device Software, that information is primarily the product name for the piece of hardware. This allows the operating system to show the correct name for that piece of hardware in Device Manager.

    **Important**
    The Intel Chipset Device Software does not install drivers for AGP or USB. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS UTILITY IF YOUR DEVICE MANUFACTURER IS RECOMMENDING IT TO CORRECT AN "AGP DRIVER," "AGP GART," OR "USB DRIVER" ISSUE; IT WILL NOT CORRECT YOUR ISSUE.
