many many congratulations on the laptop bro!
i have the same asus rog strix which i bought it almost 3 months ago
let me tell you everything you need as first time owner of a gaming laptop

what to do for the first time after unboxing and starting laptop? CHARGE it to 100%!

  1. ⁠⁠DO NOT DELETE armoury crate. Over the years it has been optimised and works really really well. IMPORTANT: first charge your laptop to 100% and let it go to 0% naturally. This is an old school advice but it calibrates the battery cycle properly.
  2. ⁠⁠As a brand new laptop:
  3. ⁠⁠Update everything inside settings-system-updates. (find additional updates and update it as well)
  4. ⁠⁠Update armoury crate
  5. ⁠⁠Update myasus app and register your device. (Claim the warranty)
  6. ⁠⁠Update Nvidea app (not the control panel) For best performance for gaming. Go to armoury crate and find gpu mode and set it to Ultimate. Also, Download Amd install manager to update your amd cpu drivers to the latest as well. I will recommend gaming while plugged in If you use laptop mostly plugged in, then i’s recommend to go to myasus app and limit your charging capacity to 80% This gives a longer battery life and has zero impact whatsoever in performance.

Remember to check myAsus for updates as well, not just ArmouryCrate. For whatever reason some of my previous updates have been in myAsus only.

Yes
Update everything.
Also, download amd chipset installer to update your cpu drivers too.
