SATA drivers install on MSI motherboard

I'm running Windows 10 x64 on a MSI B450M MORTAR MAX motherboard with a Crucial MX500 SSD 2TB drive.
On the support page, I can see that there is a "AM4 RAID Driver 9.2.0.127", placed into a "On-Board PIDE/SATA Drivers" section.

Do I have to install these drivers if I don't have any RAID configuration, and don't plan to have one ? If yes, why ?

Next, the release note says that "After installation of setup.exe the user may need to refresh the desktop icons." But there is no setup.exe in the donwloaded file. How are these drivers supposed to be installed ?

I'm asking this question here because I've already asked many other technical questions to the MSI support about their motherboards, and their answers are always just random, or false, or opposite to the real answer, ... and I cannot trust them anymore.

Do anyone familiar with this subject and that know what is the goal of the files contained within the archive can help me with this ?
