Important installation notes
Please make sure your battery is fully charged before installing this driver pack. For most batteries the charge must be 100% as the phone may shutdown during setup if the battery is even at 80% charge.
Make sure battery is charged to 100% before continuing. If this is not the case, reboot your device now and charge it in an Operating System.
NOTE for Lumia 950 (non XL) users: There is a known issue with reboots / shutdowns being broken, you will always have to reboot the device by hand, including, during the setup process. You may see a BSOD with INTERRUPT_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED or simply a black screen. Just reboot the device by pressing volume down + power.

While leaving the phone plugged in to a wall charger, let it install all applications, all app updates through the store, and OneDrive. Then let the phone cool down
