Do you need to install chipset drivers?
Definitely you need. Especially if you want your devices to work in a proper way. Personally I prefer these Chipset drivers https://driverpack.io/en/devices/chipset and should admit its high quality and safety. Plus DriverPack will automatically select and install the required drivers and it is free of charge. Simply give it a try
This is a “No, but..” answer.
The majority of components will be recognised, and generic MicroGit drivers will be installed - so the devices WILL function.
However they wont always function at their full capability - it depends whether the manufacturers have given a full set of drivers to Microgit, to include in the Microgit store.
Other devices may not be detected, or detected incorrectly, so they wont work.

I think of the generic MicroGit drivers as “Emergency - get me going” drivers - that give you enough functionality to visit and download the board makers latest drivers if you have lost the original disk.
