Not typically. You're simply supplying your computer system with newer software to aid in interfacing.

Usually, updating drivers won't erase your info. But, if you want to be on the safe side, back up your vital info before updating anything on your PC.

No worries.
Drivers are small programs that help Windows communicate with the hardware. Your data and other programs are safe.
