    I guess, all depends on what type of driver you're installing; but I had to install win10 on my brother's PC last week, these are the steps I had to take to install AMD's drivers (because the ones included with windows suck):

    1. Open Edge.
    2. Download Opera (his browser of choice) and install it.
    3. Google "AMD Drivers", go to the website
    4. Lookup the exact model of the processor: "Ryzen 3 3200G".
    5. Try to guess what fucking .exe file to download, since their descriptions are vague.
    6. Double click the .exe.
    7. next, deselect bloatware, next, install.
    8. Error on installation
    9. Lookup error code.
    10. Turns out Windows was downloading (not installing) an update at the same time, without telling me.
    11. Wait 15 minutes for windows to finish doing whatever it wants to do, without user consent.
    12. Reboot machine.
    13. Try again. Next, next, deselect bloatware, next, install
    14. Reboot machine again.
    15. (OPTIONAL) Curse Bill Gates, Steve Balmer and Satya Nadella for making me waste my time.

    I have a w10 PC and an Nvidia card. You install NVidia GeForce Experience and click "download", then "install".

    For AMD, you would install AMD Catalyst and do the same.

    No bloatware for either.. don't do things the hard way!

    nVidia drivers also contain on-by-default telemetry you just installed willingly.

    If you're concerned with it, then you have an issue. If you're not, you don't.

    I can say this about literally anything. You bought a new car, but it requires you to send nudes to the automobile company owner to be able to start the car? If you're concerned with it, then you have an issue. If you're not, you don't.

    Windows is more like

    Run exe

    Next

    No don't install chrome

    No don't install antivirus

    No don't install toolbar

    Yes I read the agreement

    Install

    Windows: "driver for graphics card not found. Go fuck yourself."

    Fuck it, here’s an ad.

    [–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    Next next finish

    Wait, why the fuck are there three new icons on my desktop? What is this bullshit in the tray?

    What the fuck is nvidiaupdatechecker.exe and why is is consuming 10% of my cpu?
