    These drivers are for your safe keeping, you don't need to install them. If in future if you have to re-install your OS you can use these drivers.
    Go to device manager and see what are the drivers you got, for example if you have Synaptics touch pad you don't need Elantech drivers.
    If everything works fine don't upgrade the drivers but it's up to you to experiment with newer drivers. I found some older drivers work better than newer drivers.
