Hey folks!

I build my Windows 10 Pro pc on the H87M-ITX a number of years ago, when the mobo was still fairly new.

Yesterday I refreshed my Windows, which is a complete deletion of *everything* and starting again from scratch.

At the [URL=https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H87M-ITX/#Download]downloads page[/URL] for the mobo there are a dozen programs. After installing the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver I realized that I probably don't need all dozen programs.

What programs are necessary, and which aren't? Is there a page somewhere that shows a simple chart or bullet list on what each one does, and when it would be necessary?

Also, just for the sake of asking, my H87M-ITX has BIOS ver P1.10. Should that be updated?

Thanks!!!!
