Can I install only optional Adrenalin?

Hello. Sorry for the dumb question, but I'm new in AMD world.

About Adrenalin recommended and optional versions; can I just clean install the optional version, or do I always need the recommended version first?

Thanks

You can download / install which ever one you want...but only one. If you install the optional ' update...Windows Update will replace it with the Microsoft Basic Driver, which is basically the drivers only. No control panel, options,etc....unless you prevent that from happening: Read > https://community.amd.com/t5/general-discussions/how-to-stop-updates-for-drivers-with-windows-update...

It is best to only install WHQL versions.
