Recently I built my first computer. While I installed Windows 11, I soon realised that I hadn’t installed the Bios and necessary drivers. No worries. It’s a leaning process.

I followed a YouTube video on downloading the right drivers. I downloaded the drivers from the MSI, AMD, and Nvidia websites. My system components are listed in my profile.

There are two problems that I need your help with: 1) the video advised to download both the AMD chipset and NPU drivers. The downloads folder warns about loading the NPU driver. Th file name is also changed to “Unconfirmed” when I copied it to my usb drive. Should I delete the NPU driver? A Google search said it’s important. 2) I also got warning messages for several zip files when I copied them to the usb drive. Do I ignore them or do something else?

I’m downloading screenshots of folders and error messages. (I had to use my phone camera since I hadn’t had time to set my email.)

"unconfirmed" means that the file's download wasn't completed. (At least, that's when I get it.)

The other messages are what I get when copying a file from an NTFS drive to a Fat32 one. Harmless.

Thanks. Good to know.

Is the NPU file necessary? I’ll have to reinstall it when I get home.
