Device Manager

I was asked if I wanted Windows to download driver software and realistic icons for my hardware devices. The choices were:
Yes, do this automatically (recommended).

No, let me choose what to do.

I don't know which choice would be the correct one, and I need some advice.

It's entirely up to you. If you don't want to bother with finding and installing drivers yourself, select Yes. If you prefer to have more control, answer No.

Detailed instructions on the choices that you have if you answer No can be found in Stop Windows 7 from Automatically Installing Device Drivers.

That is using common sense, I just wondered if there was a good reason for not letting Windows install drivers for me. Something like drivers being installed incorrectly, not being needed, or problems with the drivers after the installation. Since you made no mention of any of those things, I'll just let Windows do it for me (the lazy way).
