Acer Aspire R5-571T-57Z0 - Driver & BIOS Updates...clean Win10 install

Question

re BIOS & driver updates after fresh Win10 install to SSD
Most device drivers self-explanatory*
Acer BIOS/Firmware downloads** are confusing: Intel "microcodes", ME Firmware, SMBIOS..table, fixes BIOS setup utility

Anyone clarify which of these are recommended/essential, and why? 
Any related to Meltdown/Spectre issues (ME firmware)?

* Except Qualcomm Atheros (Wi-Fi LAN) matching no driver downloads (but one update has no mfg listed!?)
** Available BIOS/Firmware downloads: Intel microcode revision..Intel microcode..ME firmware version and supports new SPI ROM..SMBIOS 32/64-bit table..Fixes BIOS Setup Utility

How to fix?  ASAP????

If it were my R5, the only thing I would try is the wifi driver. My reasoning? It's least likely to brick my functioning R5. Jack E/NJ
