Just do a recovery install, you wont loss anything and you can just delete that "old Windows" folder later. Win 10 isn't like previous versions that required you to do a full reinstall and loss all programs data too.

I have literally done this over 200 times now and have never had a issue. Recover and Update work the same as far as driver replacement goes for Win 10, if it's not 100% it must be pretty close to it I have yet to see any performance issues.
