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?
You should be able to use the key so long as the edition matches (i.e home or pro). Rolling back is simple and easy. I've done it on one problem machine and it was simple and fast. Having the drivers in advance can be handy. Otherwise the upgrade process is pretty straight forward.
