Only drivers you may need to install,would be ATI or
nvidia graphics drivers.
The system would usually alert you that they are available.
Everything else is usually automatically configured.
Should be able to find the drives in the top menu under
places.
Might need to click computer.

you might check the hardware requirements - it isn't just ms that wants MORE - as even the -uxes are beginning to require much more in the way of hardware than they used to
