Why?  Windows update  says I'm up to date.  Intel driver assistant says 2 drivers available (wifi adapt and Bluetooth).  Reimagine and other 3rd party say 29 drivers are out of date, but thbey can fix for me if I pay them.  Whatever shall I do?

Hello
first, the drivers are and should be free!
They are available from the computer manufacturer here HP
In most cases, only the drivers available from HP should be used, this is generally sufficient.
Sites that charge you are a scam!
Sites like intel, nvidia, amd, offer their own drivers, but often they recommend using OEM drivers.
To conclude, if your computer does not have a particular problem, which can be solved by the said update, leave it alone!
