Hi everyone, I recently purchased a motherboard bundle from eBay consisting of an ASUS Prime B360-PLUS and and i5 8600. After upgrading my existing components I decided to do a full re-install of windows 11. I usually just let windows update install drivers as it is usually fine but this time I believe that it has installed a wrong/old audio driver and possibly others too. I noticed that it installed a program called Realtek HD Audio Manager which looks like this really old software from 2014. I checked the driver that was installed and it was from 2016. I presumed it would install a new driver and Realtek audio console from the Microsoft store instead.
I am also struggling with the manual windows 11 drivers to do myself on another clean install with no windows update as these are the only things on there:
Instead, I downloaded the Realtek driver for windows 10 on my laptop just to see how it would be installed but after extracting the zip file, there isn't really a clear way to install it - there's multiple 'setup' or 'install' exe's/cmd files and it's confusing me on which one is the correct one.
Other drivers such as chipset drivers are confusing too because there's intel management, MEI, chipset etc with also no clear instructions
Last one is SATA - not sure if I really need this one but I do use AHCI as I use a SATA SSD.
All other drivers I think I can handle...
Last note is the BIOS - Is there any recommended settings to turn on for windows 11 + gaming?
If needed I can install windows 10 instead if there are no windows 11 drivers available.
(Sorry if I've destroyed anyone's braincells trying to read this, I've tried to make it as easy to read and understand as possible!)
Thank you!
