    Why wouldn't they? You are not installing a different OS.

    They are the same OS. Ultimate has more features. The CORE is the same. Its not like you have drivers for XP and want to run for Vista.


    Example:

    1. You bought a Ford without leather seats.
    2. Now you want to change it for one with leather seats.

    You don't need to learn how to drive again :p.

    Note: Provided you keep the 32 bit architecture. If you move from Home 32 to Ultimate 64 then the drivers will not work.
