Will refresh remove drivers?
Hi. I have upgraded an HP Pavilion DM4 1050ea to Windows 10 (after backing up and imaging beforehand). It's mostly ok but boot up is glitchy and I'd like to try the "Refresh" option. Now I believe the "Reset" option is basically like a clean install that keeps your personal files - if you opt for that. Whereas refresh keeps personal files but removes programs. So I don't want to try reset or do a clean install just yet. Because I don't want to have to start finding and installing drivers.
So what I'd like to know please is, if I do "Refresh" and installed programs are removed, will it also remove factory installed drivers (that are there after doing the upgrade over Windows 7?). I know there are some issues with some drivers.
In other words - will I need to reinstall drivers (or let Windows find some drivers) after a refresh, or will they still be there? I do'n't mind reinstalling programs. I've just confused myself ha ha.
