    It should be fine. It will reinstall itself after a restart. If not, we can download the drivers from the manufacturer.

    Yes, that's possible, but first, is it also Windows 11? or 10? if it is 11, please try to copy it over.

    Please let me know if this works for you. I'll do my best to respond as soon as possible.
