What is the model-number of your computer?

Do you "need" the device-drivers, or do you "want" the device-drivers?

If your computer is your only computer, or is in a "home" network, and your computer is running fine without these device-drivers, then you do not "need" the device-drivers.

If your computer is part of a "managed" network of computers in a "corporate" environment, your company's I.T. group will install the device-drivers, and will use the device-drivers to remotely "manage" your computer, i.e., make changes to the BIOS and to the operating system.  This "remote management" is probably not what you want in a "home" environment.

Thank you very much

You're very welcome.

In case you need to know what the model number of your PC is, it is a HP Compaq dc7800.

The small form factor (SFF), I believe.

Here's the link to the support page...
