NEO J50C-8SE - Windows 11 Pro OS image [21H2]

Is there an advantage to using this image versus a straight Microsoft ISO download?
Some comments:

1-MINIX Version:
Advantage:
Automaticaly installs the firmware and the drivers are included, easy installation.

Disavantages:
-No installation control (example if you have two hard disks), etc.
-MINIX ISOS may be outdated (compared to microsoft images)

2-ISO from Microsoft:
-You have more control but usually you need to install some drivers (after installation).
-latest versions are available

Notes:
In this case, Latest version (official public release is 21H2) is up to date :

I advice you to use this MINIX version (if you need to do a clean install) but do a backup first because you will lose all your data...
In the end you will be the one to decide what is best for you and your setup.

Got it. I'm very familiar with Microsoft ISOs so I'm inclined to start there. Do you have a driver site or do you recommend the latest from Windows Update?

I generally use the Intel Driver Assistant but may skip it this time... the drivers from Intel directly aren't also or usually the same as what Windows Update finds.
