sort of a noob question but when installing new drivers,is it necessary to uninstall previous ones first or can i just install the new ones? Trying out these beta drivers.

Hello Ali,

It's a matter of choice, but you should be able to install the new version to update your current one without having to uninstall the old version. This way you could roll back to your old driver version if the new one has unexpected issues. :)

Hopefully the next version may. :)
