ThinkPad P51 Purchased Nov '17 and E480 Purchased '18 Update?
(I may have asked a similar question a couple of years ago but I wish to get a fresh perspective)
I have never updated the bios or the drivers or any of the recommended updates on these two computers. They both still run early versions of Win 10. And they both work flawlessly as well as snappy. I do have Bitdefender Total Security always running and I keep all of the browsers up to date but that's it.
I'm thinking of formatting the 4 drives (2 bootables on each computer) and installing a fresh copy of the last latest and greatest Win 10 version.
I don't know what I should do first. Should I install all of the recommended updates that Lenovo suggests i.e. bios, network card etc. before wiping the drive and installing the fresh copy of the latest/s Win 10 version or should I wipe the drives and install Win 10 fresh and then let Lenovo decide what needs to be updated.
I'm fearful that if I install version 10 first that some of the necessary or recommended Lenovo updates might need to be installed first. I'm also fearful that I could screw up two perfectly running computers by updating anything. Recommendations welcome.
