Hello @EmreDemirci , you can directly install the latest driver on your system since it will just overwrite the driver that are already installed. However, if you are planning to replace a component on your device such as installing a new graphics card, then you will need to uninstall the old drivers before installing a new one. Hope this helps.

For the Chipset Device Software package,

1. Download and extract ZIP file to temp. folder.

2. Open Command Window.

3. Make temp. folder the current directory.

4. Execute command "SetupChipset -overall".

5. Reboot.

6. Delete temp. folder.

That -overall parameter causes the package to install everything, regardless of whether already installed. This ensures that, if the parameters for the device are different, the version you are installing has priority.
Hope this helps,
