Disabling hypethreading settings is something you play with if needed.

You may be making stuff more complex than needed. Install Windows. Install systems drivers needed (do yourself for critical components, don't let Windows screw that for you, including your interface drivers). Install Pro Tools. Fully optimize the system. And test stuff works. If it does then install plugins and test as you go. Then other apps...
At which point should I connect my system to the internet? Ive heard if its connected when windows is installed it may automatically download drivers I dont want? If thats the case, do I need to remove old drivers before installing new drivers or can I just install new drivers like the old ones arent there?

And yes, Im sure im making things more complicated haha. Waiting on the mail and all I can do is sit here and overthink.
