Recently I bought an  HP Power Pavilion 15-cx0651nd laptop for university and the laptop is nice, but ofcourse it is full of shitty software. I tried simply uninstalling it, but some of the software like mcaffee keeps coming back. 

Now I want to do a clean install of windows using the media creation tool. since I dont have anything important saved on this laptop it should be easy, but I am not sure if I could properly install all of the drivers. I tried this on an older and shittier laptop and lost some functions like the touchpad. would it be possible to install all drivers, and what would be the best way to do this?

After booting the first time, the drivers will be there (may require a restart). Make sure you have internet connection to update the drivers. I've done it several times without any problems

Thanks, does this also work for the Nvidia drivers for the 1050? and does it work well on laptops, because I have had problems whit it in the past.
