I'm building my first PC and have a quick question about drivers. When I boot up my new setup for the first time, will it automatically download all the necessary drivers, or do I need to go find and download them myself? Here are my specs: a Ryzen 7 9800x3d, Asrock taichi AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, Aorus B850 Elite WiFi 7 motherboard, 32GB Delta RGB T-Force DDR5 RAM, two 2TB T-Force Pro G70 NVMe storage drives, a M360 LED Sama AIO cooler, and a Lian Li Ego850G Edge Gold PSU. I'm also using a HP OMEN 27" IPS LED QHD 240Hz monitor. I have a friend who's going to help me with the build tomorrow, but I want to get a head start on understanding what I need to do regarding drivers.

You'll need to download some specific drivers yourself, like the chipset and GPU drivers. Windows usually installs some generic drivers automatically, but for optimal performance, especially with things like your graphics card, you'll want the manufacturers' drivers.
Ok but where do I find those? Should I Google them or will they show up automatically after I boot?
