Should I install the Intel Management Engine Components and Intel Chipset Device Software?

I did a fresh install of Windows 10 on My Latitude E6440, Should I install the following:

  • Intel Chipset Device Software
  • Intel Management Engine Components

??

There are two options for Intel Management Engine Components on Dell's website:

  • Intel(R) Management Engine Components Installer - vPro
  • Intel Management Engine Components Installer

which one of these should I install ? I am not interested in remote management.

Many Thanks

IME does not permit or involve ordinary remote management. You need to be in a big company with resources to do core laptop management services.

So yes, for your system and the system's Driver Update App, install IME as it suggests. You can install both and also if there the IME Software (which again, is not remote management).

It is firmware so it will update during a restart.

I have IME firmware on my computers here and there are no issues with installing IME.
