I have an ASUS Dual RX 580, I was looking to get the latest driver for it however I couldn't find an guide as to how to install a driver update for RX 580. As you can see, I am a computer-illiterate and don't want to mess anything up. I have a Ryzen 5 1600 and a MSI B350m Mortar motherboard.

AMD recommends uninstalling the old driver first. But the newer Crimson driver packages will search out any updates that are available and ask you if you want to update to the new one. Let it do its thing. It will take care of updating it for you.
 
AMD recommends that you unistall your previous drivers prior to the installation of new drivers. You can simply unistall older drivers through programs and features unistaller or use the amd.cleanup utility from amd site or even use ddu uninstaller to clean drivers and registries. Use the above link to download fresh drivers according to your setup and OS
 


Nothing to do with it. Your OS will utilize a basic adapter of your gpu to proceed with the installation of drivers

Want to ask one more thing, if I uninstall the driver and the new ones have some problem, could I use the "rollback driver" option in device manager to get back to previous working drivers or would uninstalling them mean they are gone?

If the AMD folder that was created when the installation program unpacked itself is still on C:\ drive, you can simply run which ever package you want to install/reinstall.

But I always run DDU https://www.wagnardsoft.com/ from safe mode to uninstall my gfx drivers. Then download the new driver and install it. Or in your case, the previous driver.
