Don't know. Looks like they rely on Windows to install the usb driver. The only way to find out is to look in device manager at the driver version and then again after running the chipset driver install to see if it's changed.
Driver updating software like driver booster 4 from Steam isn't recommended because sometimes they install the wrong driver. I had that problem it always installs the wrong usb driver and my mouse stopped working but somehow I used the keyboard to tab over to reinstall the original usb driver.
You can't delete the page file though you can recreate it if you manually set it to 0 in advanced system settings and restart. Apps will crash without a
page file though - you could possibly crash your windows install if you do that too. Since you have to restart and then set it back to auto or resize it or share it across several disks.
You seem to be avoiding a clean install of Windows. What is your C: drive and how much free space do you have on it?

appropriate size for page file
Minimum page file size | Maximum page file size |
---|
Varies based on page file usage history, amount of RAM (RAM ÷ 8, max 32 GB) and crash dump settings. | 3 × RAM or 4 GB, whichever is larger. This size is then limited to the volume size ÷ 8. However, it can grow to within 1 GB of free space on the volume if necessary for crash dump settings. |
3x 64 is 192gb or Volume size (disk size) + 8.
So basically the size of the page file depends on how many apps and what tasks you're running in windows - if you're running memory intensive apps you might want the larger size. The page file is dynamic on auto and can shrink and grow. If you set it to run across multiple disks it will hit the fastest drive anyway.
So with a 256gb volume (they are talking about the partition rather than the drive since you could have several partitions on a single drive) the max page file size would be 32gb.
So you'd need a 2 Terabyte drive for 256gb page file (which would actually be 192gb (x3 mem) in practice, while a 1 Terabyte drive could host a 128gb page file - less than the 3x Ram maximum.
So you could manually set the page file to 62.5gb if you have a 500gb drive, 128gb if you have a 1 Tb drive or auto if you have a 2tb drive and let windows use what it wants.
So it depends on the size of your disks and how many partitions you have installed on them, how much free space you have, and which disks are the fastest.
Only 'volatile' data may be written to the page file:
Multiple page files and disk considerations
If a system is configured to have more than one page files, the page file that responds first is the one that is used. This customized configuration means that page files that are on faster disks are used more frequently. Also, whether you put a page file on a “fast” or “slow” disk is important only if the page file is frequently accessed and if the disk that is hosting the respective page file is overwhelmed. Actual page file usage depends greatly on the amount of modified memory that the system is managing. This dependency means that files that already exist on disk (such as .txt, .doc, .dll, and .exe) aren't written to a page file. Only modified data that doesn't already exist on disk (for example, unsaved text in Notepad) is memory that could potentially be backed by a page file. After the unsaved data is saved to disk as a file, it's backed by the disk and not by a page file.
So any unsaved work in any open apps. that's stored in memory could be paged out to disk from memory if 64gb is used. If you never or hardly use the full 64gb of memory then windows will page less anyway.
