you can't load anything if you don't have an operating system, so yes load windows 7 first. Are you sure you don't want a boxed computer? :D

never let windows update your mobo/sound/video drivers as it may create problems.

Post by: Getback on April 08, 2012, 08:17:47 AM: I asked that same question at one time.

Being more specific. I always load the OS, then the video drivers. That makes it easier to maneuver around the screen to install the other drivers. Usually after the video drivers I load the sound drivers and the lan drivers. Both one after the other. That way you have access to the internet for any updates you may need to bios or devices.

You would have found out through trial/error pretty fast that unless you load windows first, you have nothing to load the drivers with :)
