(For info: When the CMOS battery is removed, the contents of memory are erased. Depending on the type, this process can take a few seconds or even days. Therefore, the battery should only be removed if the memory needs to be erased. Such an operation may be necessary if the computer has booting problems or if a different BIOS chip has been inserted. For some motherboards, this procedure is also recommended after a BIOS update. On many PCs, you can also reset the BIOS password through CMOS. On most laptops, however, the built-in anti-theft protection prevents achieving the expected success with this method.)
This will reset the cmos ram, replace the CR2032 battery
If the latest version of the Bios is installed it’s Ok no need to replace it
Take my advice for partitions without linux commands or other scripts, don’t grub
Leave the motherboard settings as default
The Windows update control allows you to know the latest updated version using the winver command under CMD
Once everything is installed, check the Windows event log to control errors and if the log establishes errors that are too critical it confirms that Comodo is not the cause
If the log is Ok, make a disk image backup then download Comodo CIS to finish installing
Regarding the update of the drivers I recommend Easy-Driver free for the control of the availability of the latter
