Do I have to update Adrenalin after Win 11 update?

I finally got convinced about updating to Windows 11 for my system (Ryzen 5 7600X + RX 6800 + 32 GB RAM). However, I have the slightest concern that I might have to update adrenalin after installing the new OS. I honestly don't wanna do it since I have to go into safe mode, use DDU, install again and last time I lost all my Adrenalin config plus lets be honest, I'm kinda lazy with these type of stuff (more of a plug n play guy myself even tho I did build my own PC).

So my question is, do I have to update everything manually? or will Adrenalin work just fine?

Looking at your APU AMD download page it looks like the driver and its Release Notes are all the same for both Windows 10 & 11.

From your post it sounds like you are going to do a In-Place Windows upgrade which is a great way of upgrading Windows in my opinion.

That way you won't have to spend hours installing all of your 3rd party apps and games again.

Ever since I had Windows 98 I have been doing In-Place Windows upgrades without any issues. A couple of times I did need to do a Clean Windows installation due to a badly corrupted Windows or hardware issues.

So it is a good chance once your upgrade to Windows 11 there wouldn't be any change in the way your AMD Driver works.
