updating AMD gpu drivers: express uninstall?

   windows 7 64 bit

cpu: amd 4100 3.6ghz quad

mem: 8 gb

gpu: xfx radeon hd 7750 1gb core

Hello,

I wish to update my desktop's graphics driver to see if it runs faster on a newer game I've been playing (train simulator 2015). I have never updated it in 2 years since it's been working fine. It's running AMD catalyst 12.8 from 2012.

The problem I have is this: I read a thread online not to use AMD driver autodetect right away but to uninstall the old driver first, and not use "express uninstall". The reason being, it might remove a usb driver that renders the mouse and keyboard unuseable.

So I go to control panel, select AMD catalyst install manager  etc and in the uninstall manager choose custom uninstall now I see this:

I don't know which do i check to uninstall, can someone please advise?

BTW, I'm trying to install Catalyst Software Suite 14.9 (9/29/2014) after I uninstall the old one.

	You can just tick the Display Driver and then have the new driver overwrite any of the old versions of the software you are not too sure about.
