Like I said at the beginning, and as you have confirmed, Windows may not have the best drivers when you first install it.
Part of the problem is that it tries to use its own generic drivers rather than those written specifically for the hardware.
A common area where this happens seems to be LAN drivers. It is often better to get them from the chipset maker, or whoever made the motherboard with that LAN function.
