UPDATING AMD RADEON R9 390 GRAPHICS DRIVER

Hello, I am trying to update my graphics driver with the AMD Radeon Software Installer and at the bottom there as an option "Factory Reset (Recommended)". I Know what a factory reset is but does this mean if I check this option it will factory reset my pc? Because I do NOT want to factory reset my pc. I just wanted to know. But I think I will just have it unchecked, and install the AMD Software. Would be lovely to give me some info thanks.

Factory Reset in Adrenalin is not the same as a complete PC/System reset.

It is a reset of the Adrenalin software only, it removes any existing settings before installing the new driver version. If you have customized anything in the Adrenalin software such as frequency, voltages, fan curves, profiles, game history, etc. it will be reset to default.

This is also an option that can be done at any time (not just during an upgrade) within the Adrenalin settings.
