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!

You can download just the driver directly from Nvidia and not install GeForce experience
