Hello
Recently, I have changed my motherboard atleast 3 times with in my build. Everything else has stayed the same. Same ssd too. Each time I had a motherboard, I had installed the chipset drivers etc.
Now I have found the motherboard I will stick with, I have installed it's driver etc.
Will the old chipset drivers still be there? Would it be of any problem? Can I delete it? Thanks

specs
intel g4560 stock
ASUS b250 prime plus
4x2 hyper x
120gb ssd
antec 430w
 
If they're the same manufacturer, then you may have some of the same chipset drivers.

Well, even if they're different, you may have some of the same for components like the Intel Ethernet adapter.

Safe to remove, worst case scenario, you end up installing them again :)
 
Do you have any issues in Device manager (Yellow Triangle with exclamation mark) ? If not then you should be fine.

It was a mix of Msi, gigabyte and asus. I'm sticking with asus.

I do not, everyone is working fine. Just wanted to make sure nothing goes wrong. Do the old drivers take up much space?

I would just leave it as it is then if it is working fine. The old chipset drivers might have been overwritten when you installed the new ones. In any case they won't take up much room.
