{=(p1):-# New systems will already have outdated software as soon as they arrive. After the initial account setup you must then update the entire system - and you must run the updates multiple times. 

1. **Windows Updates**
  - Run the standard Windows update tool
2. **Optional Updates**
  - On the Windows Update page, scroll down to "Advanced options". Click and scroll down to "Optional updates" and install.
3. **Reboot System**
  - Be sure to reboot your system after completing each update. This isn't always necessary but is best practice especially during the initial setup on a new system.}

1. **Select Tool**
  - [Intel Driver Updater](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html)
  - [AMD Driver Updater](https://www.amd.com/en/support/download/drivers.html)
2. **Update Drivers**
  - Run your tool to scan for updates
  - Install available driver updates
  - Reboot system}
{=(p3):-# Make sure your GPU is updated to the newest version. If you have an option to choose between "Game Ready Driver" vs "Studio Driver" you should start with Game Ready, but if you aren't getting optimal results feel free to switch to Studio to compare. Usually you can just go with the "Express Installation" option, however if you are having issues with the driver you can do a clean install using the "Custom Installation" option and setting it to only install the options you need, and setting it to remove all previous versions, etc.

1. **Select App**
  - [Nvidia App](https://www.nvidia.com/en-eu/software/nvidia-app/)
  - [AMD Adrenaline](https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/faqs/RSX2-INSTALL.html)

  - Run your app and scan for updates 
  - Install available driver updates
  - Reboot System}

1. Open the Microsoft Store
2. Click the "Downloads" tab in the lower left corner
