Hi,

Does we need to install another driver for laptop after upgrading to w10?
Or just enough with W10 preinstalled driver..?

TQ

it's better to install latest compatible drivers from manufacturers in general. however if the preinstalled drivers work nicely for you, you actually don't need to do that.

So far W10 preinstalled driver works nicely for me  :thumbsup:  ...except Nvidia display driver that i installed sometimes got error "your display driver has encountered a problem and successfuly recovered"

The gpu error can be caused by various sources. Normally you can use the stock w10 driver from laptop manufacturer to resolve this, unlesss it's hardware issue.

Use ddu to clean up first in safe mode then reinstall gpu driver.

check the manufacturer website for w10 driver. if they don't have it, then you can still use the drivers from gpu manufacturers (nvidia./amd). yes, the gpu manufacturers have the latest w10 drivers.

just use the latest drivers from gpu manufacturer. use ddu to clean the old drivers in safe mode first.

U need USB 3.0 and Bluetooth drivers. There are no native support under W10.

And sux. Need to use third party. USB 3.0 also crap. Devices kept disconnecting. Also need third party. Native ones useless.
*
ok. a simple 'fix' to frequent disconnecting devices is to use a usb 2.0 hub between the device and your computer.

What a useless solution! Only proves USB 3.0 support is broken under W10. No problem under W7.

yeah ok it's up to you hehe

I'll stick to my Mac full time instead of part time. At least El Capitan has full native USB 3.0 support. Fast and stable. And works! MS and Nadella can bury themselves. As for my W10 machine, already downgraded back to W7. So much better.

yeah just use whatever you wanna use smile.gif

TQ...btw,what's the different between those two?

They drive different components: Realtek is for the onboard audio chip; while nvidia hd audio is for gpu. If you plugged in speakers into audio jacks you use Realtek.
