I recently swapped out my old laptop wifi card for an Intel AC-7260. In general, it has worked great -- no problems to speak of. I'm curious about one thing, though. I let Windows (8.1, 64bit) discover the device and find the drivers, and everything seems to be working fine, including Bluetooth (which this laptop never had before). Windows has installed driver version 16.5.3.6 and won't automatically install anything newer. Intel has newer drivers on their download site, but I'm not sure if I should install them, or if I should just leave well enough alone.
Can someone tell me definitively:
(a) If I should bother downloading newer drivers from Intel vs sticking with the ones found by Windows.
(b) If it's better to install "drivers only" or to use the Intel PROSet/Wireless software?
