Can I use the same usb I created to upgrade my Surface from 8.1?

I've found a page on ACER that has 8 driver updates for my PC when upgrading from W7 to 8.1, do I just download them all and save them on a usb key in case I need them? I know one of them matches my Wireless LAN as i've run Acers detection program. Nothing else seems to match but i just don't know about this stuff.

If it all goes wrong hoe easy is it to roll back?

Unless it totally fails -- i.e. completely unresponsive, the rollback is simple (I just did it on my laptop) but does take some time.....a couple of hours to rollback and reinstall W10, just rolling back probably half-an hour to an hour...

The install will likely search for updated drivers and install them.

Good Luck!
