MSI Notebook Driver Installation Order: Intel & AMD Platforms

Identify the platform

Confirm whether the laptop has an Intel or AMD processor, then find the full regional SKU and installed Windows system.

Start with the platform drivers

MSI places chipset installation first, followed by platform graphics and a discrete graphics package where applicable. Use its linked table for the complete order for your platform.

Follow the remaining model-specific sequence

Intel systems can include management, serial-interface, storage and sound-technology packages that are absent on other configurations. Audio, network and Bluetooth packages also appear in the official sequence.

Skip packages your model does not list

MSI states that package names differ by model and absent drivers can be skipped. Read each installer’s notes and restart when requested. An unavailable package is not permission to borrow another model’s driver.
