Hi
I have a laptop Haier 7G-5H. It was given by university a few months ago. It is still in warranty. I got a dvd with it which has all the drivers for it.
I formatted the windows and installed fresh copy of OS. Now i have to install the drivers. I am aware of what must be installed and what must not be. But there is a problem. In the dvd, there is a folder for intel widi, rapid start, rapid storage and smart connect technology. I am not sure, that i should install them as well or not. I am holding them to be installed because i don't want to clog the system with something installed that is not inside. I mean suppose i install the software and there is no hardware inside.
So, how to know which drivers to install from above mentioned 4 (i installed the other ones fine. display, audio, intel management engine, touch pad, lan and wlan etc.) but these 4 are confusing me.
When i go into BIOS setup, i see the options to disable or enable the intel anti-theft technology, intel rapid start (as the laptop has legacy mode and UEFI mode too) and i installed the OS by disabling "secure boot". So, please guide me about these four ones.
1. Intel widi
2. Intel rapid start
3. Intel rapid storage
4. Smart connect technology
5. Bluetooth (i am not sure if it has bluetooth or not but device manager is not showing anymore unknown hardware)
Regards
Awais.
