Do I need to download and have AMD Ryzen drivers ready for reinstall when I run this as well? I just saw a video that said that you need to have these ready for you have any Ryzen CPU.

Yes, it's a good idea to have the AMD Ryzen drivers ready before reinstalling. That way, you can avoid any issues with hardware detection once you're done

It’s just a good idea to have the latest drivers handy if you want to avoid waiting after the reinstall.

You don’t need to have them “ready” beforehand. As long as Windows installs the basic drivers, the system will boot just fine.

After the reinstall, it’s still a good idea to download and install the latest AMD chipset drivers from AMD’s website for best performance and stability, especially for power management and USB.

So no harm in downloading them in advance, but it’s not strictly required to run the reinstall.

I’d have the AMD chipset/Ryzen drivers ready on a USB or another drive, especially if you’re doing a clean reinstall. Windows may install basic drivers automatically, but having the latest chipset package available makes it easier to get everything working properly afterward.
