Default Windows Assessment Console. Drivers

I have just done the 5-minute analysis of "Driver Verification" and I
get 14 driver results...

Can I safely delete these drivers?

No, what you start by doing, is open up
the INF file in question.

C:\WINDOWS\inf\OEM1.inf

Those are anonymized INF files. When Windows
installs RealTek.inf, to prevent a name collision
in the inf folder, it changes the file name and
uses the word "OEM" plus a number.

To discover what driver that might be, you open

C:\WINDOWS\inf\OEM1.inf

with notepad, and the actual OEM filename will be near
the top of the text file. Based on that filename, you
can then guess as to which actual installer it came
from. And why that installation is no longer used.
