A quick question for you knowledgeable chaps, and hopefully a quick answer.
In order to ensure I have the most up to date drivers and then download updates as necessary, is it easier to do this through Windows 10, or should I go to each manufacturer's website and check the latest there against what I have on my desktop and download and install direct? Or is it 6 of one, half a dozen of the other?
TIA

Windows is now very good at finding all the relevant drivers you need, so you shouldn't need to go and look for drivers for much, only things that Windows can't find drivers for.

For a desktop, all drivers not found by windows update should be sourced from the manufacturers websites, not your PCS downloads page as they will be out of date.

You don't need to do anything special. Just let Windows Update find updated drivers when it's finding updates for Windows

It's not necessary to go hunting for drivers.

If you have an Nvidia card, it’s worth downloading Nvidia Experience, I just let that handle my updates for graphics card drivers, never had a problem, and always clean install.
