Windows 11 22H2 release is just around the corner, and the hardware manufacturers are prepared. Even before the official release of the much-anticipated version of Windows 11, other hardware manufacturers like Intel, AMD, and Nvidia have already rolled out the supporting software drivers.
This way, when the new operating system will be flighted, users won’t experience any issues with their chipsets and GPUs. Well, at least not any significant ones.
Since 22H2 will only be a feature update, older drivers should work normally. However, it is always recommended that you install the latest, stable drive which has more features and the security vulnerabilities have been patched.
That said, if you have missed out on installing the latest drivers for your hardware when they were released, you can download and install them now.

Closing Words
As always, we recommend that you install the latest driver available from the manufacturer since the ones installed through Windows Update are sometimes generic and perform lower than the ones available directly from OEM.
That said, it is even better to install the supported driver(s) for an upcoming OS update so that you do not face any issues at the time of OS upgradation.
