If you have issues with the 'PC OEM' driver updates, or support for your model ended and their tool offers nothing (I've been there), or if you built your own desktop PC, then the ('hardware OEM') Intel DSA / GCC / Download Center webpage, & ('software OEM') Windows Update / checking through Device Manager would be your options, but with laptops that probably have custom 'PC OEM' drivers beware of these updates (as Scott mentioned).

Just make sure to get it from the manufacturer's website. If it's fresh from the factory it should be preinstalled & in your apps, if it's not a web search will find where to get it. 'because i recently uninstall the intel dsa but how i can update the drivers with the oem?'Īs Alberto & Scott advised, if you have a PC from a 'PC (I'll go with that) OEM' (Original Equipment Manufacturer), like Dell or HP (ready to use out of the box), you'll want to use the 'OEM tool' updater that they provide. No, I just check Device Manager to see what driver version is currently installed. 'you mean to the device manager and update the graphics?' 'do I need the Intel Driver Support Assistant installed at all?' That is actually up to you, many customers prefer to update the drivers manually others prefer to use the tool, but as long as you keep checking the website from the OEM for updates on drivers that are done normally every few months you can always uninstall the Intel® Driver Support Assistant and keep updating the drivers manually.

The Intel® drivers are generic, meaning they might or might not work with your specific platform.

In reference to this scenario, you mentioned 'It also prompts me that if I have an OEM driver installed (like from Dell), then to use that instead', that is correct, we always recommend to install the drivers provided by the manufacturer of the computer, since that driver was customized by them to work with your specific platform, that should be the proper driver for your system.
