Product: Elitebook 8440p
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I'm preparing to format my harddrive and install Windows 7 Pro 64bit.  I want to put the drivers on a USB before I format. My question is:  Do I download the earliest drivers to install first, then update the drivers after I get everything up and running  OR  Do I download the most recent drivers and install them right after the new install?
