    So I had to wipe and reload my 9360 with Windows 10 Pro, 64 bit. Amazingly to me, it was able to install every device driver without downloading anything from Dell. It seems to work just fine. Is there any pressing reason I should download any Dell drivers? I'm thinking this is just fine and all I'll ever need to download is BIOS.

    You need to step away from the internet.

    Windows update has worked well for the past year, it is downloading some dell some MS drivers, basically what is most up to date. As WHQL drivers are certified they can be pulled straight from MS, Dell has to have them all certified or they wont install.
    My ISO only installs what is needed to get you online and the rest is down to WU to complete as it will give you a more up to date machine.

    Audio drivers are from Dell for instance (for the 95x0) laptops anyway
