I cannot confirm on the Geforce software to remove drivers. I cannot test it. My rig has been down for over 6 weeks.

Man Nvidia's drivers have really gone down the drain.. I'm having 100X the issues with the latest drivers than AMD. At least AMD it doesn't bluescreen all the time. Currently my latest stable driver is 310.90.

It seems excessive (and for the most part it is) but it can be necessary when going from Nvidia to AMD or vise versa.

Does it matter if you do this before or after you install the card?
