I just bought a new laptop, and my dad used a tool called Driver Booster to install the drivers. I'm concerned about possible future problems, so I want to know how to properly remove those drivers and replace them with the official ones from the laptop manufacturer. Can anyone help me out with detailed steps? Thanks!

The best way to get rid of those unnecessary drivers is by wiping the OS and grabbing the clean drivers directly from the product support page of your laptop. If you're using Intel, you can use their Intel Driver & Support Assistant to download the right ones. Just keep in mind that third-party tools like Driver Booster are generally not recommended—they can create more problems than they solve by offering outdated or incorrect drivers.
Wiping the OS is a bit extreme if you have important files. You could try installing the official drivers over the existing ones; sometimes, it works without issues. Just make sure you download them directly from the manufacturer's site. But keep in mind that there might be some conflicts depending on the drivers already installed.
