Sadly, you didn't tell us anything about your computer/motherboard so we cannot verify if you have the latest drivers. But if you visit
Intel, it would appear there are drivers from 3 May 2017, which is pretty recent.
BUT if this device is in a notebook, then because notebooks tend to be very proprietary, I would recommend you stick with what ASUS has to offer.
As for your W10 concerns, they really are unfounded. See
ZDNet Ed Bott: No, Microsoft is not spying on you with Windows 10 then consider the fact Microsoft does not know and does not care to know your real name, your physical location/billing address, email contacts, or your billing information. In fact, W10 is much more capable at protecting that information from bad guys than W8 is.
Google and Facebook are MUCH greater threats to your privacy than Microsoft.
And your ISP is worse yet. They not only know your real name, address, billing information, SSN/IN data, but they know EVERYTHING you do on the Internet and they can and do (especially now, thanks to
Congress ) readily sell that information to others for marketing purposes and who-knows-what.
And your cell phone carriers knows everything your ISP knows, plus everyone you have talked to and texted, plus they know your exact physical location to within a couple yards/meters, including the aisle of the store you are currently standing in, where you have been, the direction you are heading, and how fast you are traveling.
Microsoft spying on you should be the least of your worries. And remember, there is a HUGE difference between privacy and security. Microsoft is
not trying to learn your passwords, your contacts, your bank accounts, or your identity, nor is it trying to infect your computer. In fact, Window 10 is the best Windows yet to protect that information from getting in the hands of bad guys. Not to mention, the latest Creators update for W10 makes it even easier to opt out of even more "telemetry" data gathering. And there are guides all over to further lock it down, if that is really a concerned. But again, there is a huge difference between privacy and security.
Plus, it's just a better OS in terms of performance and support for current and future hardware.
