What also doesn't help is that Lenovo continuously changes the names and types of software that they arbitrarily bundle the required drivers with.

What's different from the past when using the Home or Pro versions of Windows 10, is the inability for users to opt out of these updates, except via a recently published tool. Windows 10 is doing a much better job of this in general, and Microsoft - somewhat controversially - is collecting and pushing newer (and hopefully more optimized) drivers via Windows Update. It has often been a tricky process to locate all of the correct drivers for Windows-based systems after a clean install.
