How to install all drivers a laptop MSI GF63 Thin 11UC-255X?

I bought a laptop MSI GF63 Thin 11UC-255X without an operating system.
I installed Manjaro Cinnamon Desktop.
The sound is not working.
PCI chipset I/O not working…etc.
How to make sure that all drivers are installed on hardware automatically?

provide formated output from:
inxi -Fazy

run the command again, and then in the editor here on the forum click this icon: </>
and inside it put the whole output… this one is not complete and is not formated…

  1. Please read this:
    [HowTo] Provide System Information
    and press the three dots below your post and press the :pencil2: to give us more information so we can see what’s really going on.
    Now we know the symptom of the disease, but we need some more probing to know where the origin lies… :grin:
  2. An inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width would be the minimum required information for us to be able to help you. (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
    Also, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text.

There is mhwd for that: Manjaro Hardware Detection Overview - Manjaro
You can also use it from Manjaro Settings Manager.
