# 2 Audio driver, Bluetooth driver, Card reader driver, Chipset driver, Serial IO driver, LAN driver, Touchpad driver, VGA driver and WLAN driver all has been updated in 2017, maybe you could also so don't have to do it manually?

 

# 3 Memory & SSD compatibility is not that good, and heard that even supported memory & SSD is not really supported after installed them or they are causing bluescreen.

 

# 4 EC version needs to be updated for newer / latest update, V2.30+

    Most important updates for all ES1-533 variants:

     

    Audio drivers: R2.82 (6.0.1.8186)

    Intel HD graphics driver: 15.46 (15.46.02.4729)

     

    There is also card reader update from Realtek 10.0.370.162, and LAN Realtek driver update.

    + Many random driver updates mostly from Intel, if your variant uses Intel WLAN/Bluetooth.
