    OS Install on SSD

    Just wondering if its better to leave the Internet connection Off until after you load the
    OS and hook it back up later to update all your drivers
    MB chipset-USB-Sound and Graphics.

    Your thoughts.

    Thanks.

    Without Chipset/lan drivers the internet connection won't work anyway. I always keep everything apart from my USB devices connected while installing an OS.

    Are you asking whether to load the CD drivers before windows update drivers? I see no point in disconnecting internet for a reload. Hopefully most will be automatic or get picked up in updates.. then I'll add the latest full on graphics driver package and any other special ones after.
