Updating Adrenalin drivers with 5.30 BIOS

I recently flashed my AB350 Gaming-ITX/ac board to BIOS version 5.30. Beforehand I update AMD's Adrenalin drivers to the latest version, 19.1.1. Everything went smoothly, and my system is running stably.

This got me thinking, however, about installing future Adrenalin updates. AMD's [URL=https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/rs-install]instructions[/URL] for installing new updated drivers states: "Ensure that any existing AMD graphics driver on the system is removed before installing a new driver package. Performing a complete uninstall ensures a clean system and can help reduce issues or conflicts that may occur on new installations."

Uninstalling existing drivers [URL=https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/rs-uninstall]requires a system restart[/URL], which would seem to conflict with 5.30 BIOS's requirement to have "AMD all in 1 with VGA driver ver:18.10.20_NHDA" or later installed. If I restart the system after uninstalling the Adrenalin drivers, will I have to follow the [URL=http://asrock.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com/TSD/Display%20recovery%20SOP.pdf]display recovery SOP[/URL] to get the system working properly again?

Sorry for the bump, but still hoping for some insight into this issue.

If you already have 5.30, you should worry not. Your system should survive restarts between new Radeon driver installs. In either case, backup and cross fingers!

That makes sense, and I believe you are probably correct. I was reading too much into the instructions.

Thank you!
