    Can I use the Realtek Audio drivers from the Z570 or Y580 on my Y570?

    I noticed the audio drivers from the Z570 are much newer than the ones for the Y570. Can I install those audio drivers on my Y570???

    Also there are newer broadcom bluetooth drivers from the Y580 and I've installed them just fine, but I was wondering what is your take on this?

    How about the Intel Chipset Drivers and Intel Rapid Storage Technology? Would those work fine?

    If they are the same chipset then yes, but why? Doubt you'll get any performance or audio boos, unless you feel your current drivers are causing you issues. You could just google your audio chipset and download the true latest ones from realtek. Same goes for your bluetooth.
    As for your intel drivers, don't waste your time with manufacturer drviers of anything intel. Intel is better at keeping their drivers up to date than any manufacturer is at posting them :/ ...
