Hello there,
I've set up my 14900k workstation again after I've waited out the microcode updates. I'm using Asus' Z790 Proart Creator WiFi motherboard. When I installed the drivers, I was under the impression that Intel's Driver & Support Assistant would give me the newest chipset drivers but the only thing it did was to update my WiFi and Bluetooth drivers (quite a pointless tool tbh).
After that, I downloaded the remaining driver's from Asus' motherboard support page and installed them individually (except WiFi and Bluetooth).
Is it okay to have downloaded the WiFi and Bluetooth drivers from the Driver & Support Assistant first? Or should I do a clean Windows install again just with the Asus drivers?
So now I have basically a combination of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers from Intel and the rest from Asus' motherboard driver page (chipset etc).
Oddly enough, the Thunderbolt driver won't install, it says the operating system isn't supported.
Also, is the Intel DSA safe or is it dangerous bloatware that might impact my computer's performance and possibly spy on me?
What should I do?
Can I run my PC like that or should I set it up anew?
I obviously avoided Armoury Crate from Asus.
