You're starting fresh and need to know which drivers are essential. For your ASUS Hero Z170, you'll want the latest updates from the official site: http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SL...9VUHZjGMSH. Make sure to check the relevant sections for your hardware list—especially drivers for the graphics card, audio, and storage components. Keep an eye on Windows 7 updates and plan your upgrade path carefully for a smooth transition to Windows 10 later.

Hotfix registration is crucial for your system. The USB version includes two driver types: Intel USB3.0 Controller Driver and USB3.0 Controller Driver Sata. For SATA, you have Asmedia SATA Controller Driver and Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Driver Software Chipset, both with two options. The Intel Management Engine Interface and Intel® Chipset Software Installation Utility also come in two versions. All seven components are important—should you download them or skip some?

Make sure to download and set up everything. You won’t cause any damage, and the installers will let you know if an updated version exists.

You'd like to get essential drivers or utilities, though adding them all might slow down the Windows startup and make everything feel heavier.

No need to download LAN unless required; you can safely ignore it if not necessary.

LAN is the Ethernet driver for your system. If you have a functional internet connection using an Ethernet cable, you can skip this step. Many devices rely on third-party network controllers, so installing drivers is necessary before the internet works.
