    Good afternoon everyone,

    I am rebuilding my X1 - 20HQ from scratch, not using the built in image.

    I tend to do clean installations, putting minimal amount of OEM software.

    I just completed the OS, and after the udates all the devices got recognized (apparently).

    I have a few questions for the forum:

    - Is there any known, updated driver that is better to download from Lenovo or other OEM manufacturer (e.g. Intel, etc) - because the standard Win 10 driver is the generic old one?

    - Is there something I must avoid by all means (bios, etc)?

    - Is there someting that it is better to have as it can increase the battery life (e.g. power management utility, Intel thermal mgmt software, etc)?

    Thank you in advance!
