Back in the day you could install Windows without a bunch of driver disks (anyone remember Windows NT 3 & 4).  Even just 5-10 years ago you needed the chipset, audio, network, etc drivers or you ended up with any number of unknown devices.

But with Windows and the Z370 I'm setting up the only unknown device is Intel video. 

Do I need all these other things?

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html%3c_nkw=realtek" rel="nofollow - Realtek high definition audio driver ver:8210_FF00
INF driver ver:10.1.1.44
Intel Management Engine driver ver:11.7.4.3314_MEI
Intel Lan driver ver:22.5
SATA Floppy Image ver:15.8.0.1006
Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver and utility ver:15.8.1.1007
VGA driver ver:4785 (needed at least this one)

2 X SSD (Samsung  & Crucial
2 x 2TB HDD (WE SE drives in RAID 1)
1 x 10TB HSGT (Hot swap with other drives)


These easier to determine:
Intel Optane driver ver:15.8.0.1006
ASRock A-Tuning utility ver:3.0.178
APP Shop ver:1.0.31
Norton Security ver:22.9.2.3
Restart to UEFI ver:1.0.5
