Hello and good morning/evening/night Tom's Hardware Forums! I would like to make a quick question about drivers

I just bought an NP8278-S from sagernotebooks (well, It's actually at my relative's house in USA and he'll send it to me later) when he set (set as past tense) windows 8.1 up he agreed that windows would install drivers automatically (I guess windows should've found new drivers by now in case it had some old ones) and I don't know what's better for drivers:

a) let windows (8.1) search for them automatically

b) See if my drivers are the latest and if not, then upgrade using sager's

c) See if my drivers are the latest and if not, then upgrade using intel's, Nvidia's, Crucial's, etc. from their respective webpages.

Also, when upgrading drivers should I just install the latest driver OR uninstall the older and then install the new one?

By the way: I emphasized on SET as past tense because SET is both present and past depending on context, and so I emphasized in order to avoid confusions :p

Oh, well, they were supposed to be options and not steps. I just edited my post so that 1 2 and 3 are now a, b and c
