Hello there
I got a new PC without Windows already installed. I downloaded it from the official Windows site, but the manufacturer didn’t install any drivers. Is this a concern?
Could this cause a problem, especially if the PC is meant for gaming?

Windows 10 and Windows 11 are quite effective at detecting signed drivers. I suggest looking into motherboard-level drivers, possibly using utility tools, and checking the chipset as well as graphics card drivers. You can right-click in 'Device Manager' to verify if any devices aren't being recognized by Windows.

Check in Device Manager. Entering that term into the search box will display relevant results, with a small yellow triangle indicating anything missing or outdated drivers.
Using software like CPU-Z (if unfamiliar) allows identification of your motherboard model and BIOS version, ensuring you download the correct core drivers and verify your BIOS is up to date.
For the graphics card, you can search or utilize an app to download or maintain current graphics drivers.
