Hi, your Lenovo Legion 5i Pro is ready for a fresh start. Since you installed Windows 10 without an OS, you’ll need to set it up from scratch. The NVIDIA drivers and Intel Driver & Support Assistant are already installed, but the Intel assistant suggests additional updates—specifically for the Bluetooth driver and Wi-Fi driver. Your current connections are working, so you can proceed carefully.

If you’re unsure about mixing old and new drivers, it’s safer to remove the previous ones first. You can delete them using Device Manager: right-click the device in the Start menu, select Properties, then Uninstall of Applications. After that, reinstall the drivers from the manufacturer or manufacturer’s website. This helps avoid conflicts.

Just follow these steps:
1. Open Device Manager.
2. Expand “Hardware and Sound” or similar.
3. Look for entries like “Intel® Bluetooth Controller” and “Wi-Fi Adapter.”
4. Right-click each and select Uninstall device.
5. Restart your laptop and reinstall the drivers.

Your first Windows install should work smoothly once everything is updated. Let me know if you need more help!

Probably during times before Windows 10 or on older systems. Installers usually detect the previous driver versions and remove them automatically before adding new ones. Unless you have a specific issue, you don’t need to uninstall them first.
