Hi.I recently painfully learned that i should uninstall older display drivers before installing new ones but does the same go for network drivers?Should i uninstall them then use another pc to download the installation file or is it ok to update without uninstalling previous drivers?
I would appreciate any feedback.thanks.

With any device drivers it's generally safer to uninstall them completely, reboot then install the new drivers. It quick and painless, more hassle if trouble arises.
