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

    Sorry for the delayed response.

    If you have access to your old install (e.g., through a backup or old system folder), you can look for USB or Serial Bus drivers in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers folder.

    You will have to restart the computer to automatically reinstall the drivers.
