Should I download AMD WDDM 1.3 via Windows Update?
I have AMD Catalyst 14.4 installed on my computer. I have an AMD 7750 1GB GDDR5.

I was going through Windows Update and saw that I could (Optional) the "Graphics Adapter WDDM1.3...AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series" driver.

Will that affect my current driver if I install, or should I not install?

Thanks ;)

You don't need to uninstall that driver.

Any suggestions? Seems like the Microsoft driver is newer (released 5 days ago) compared to the 14.4 that was released in April. Should I install, and if I should, do I delete the old driver first then install the new driver, or should I just run Windows Update?

The driver was published 7/23/2014. But yeah, I heard not to install Windows Update drivers. Just thought I'd ask.

You should already have WDDM 1.3 drivers installed. I'd be tempted to skip the Windows-suggested drivers, especially if the release date is older than the Catalyst 14.4 drivers you already have installed.

I'm using Windows 8.1 64Bit; Catalyst drivers are for Windows 8.1.
