Hey guys. I bought the Acer Aspire 7 i5 9th Gen version today via Flipkart. On registering my Serial Number I was directed to a page specific to my laptop. There I found the "Drivers and Manuals" Tab and there is a huge number of Drivers available to download.
Should I install all of them? or are they already installed on my device?
if not is there any specific drivers that I must install for better performance of the device?
should I update them regularly checking this site for updates?

can anyone guide me, please? Thanks in advance.

    No, drivers in acer site are just base and old driver.
    If you want to update drivers like wifi,Bluetooth etc then 
    1)Click on window icon→search device manager and open it 
    Now one by one expand and right on device driver→update device→search automatically for updated........
    (Don't expand display adapters to update your Gpus)

    2)if you want to update your gpu driver to latest version for best performance 
    Then go to official amd/nvidia driver then select your gpu download and install nvidia/amd software.
