Hi GStarck
Honestly, you do not need HP Support Assist, that will battle with Windows about what drivers to install and other settings on your PC also.
Let Windows manage your system updates, including drivers, in any case, once HP stop supporting your model of PC, HP Support Assist will be redundant anyway
HP has the worst track record for installing bloatware on their new PC's, most users remove all the HP utilities, because they will never ever use them . . .
Hi GSTARCK
I am an independent advisor here to help
the two programs would not conflict with each other under normal Operation.
HP of course recommends that you keep the HP support assistant I'm so that you can receive any updates that HP issues as soon as they are issued
ultimately it is up to you whether or not you wish to keep an eye out I know of many users, myself included who use only Windows update and once in a while if I need to I will manually update a driver by downloading it from the HP website

Hi GStarck,
That is a matter of preference on weather or not you use it or remove it. They Do Not conflict with each other, and Windows 10 does take care of the drivers nicely. However... (IMO) I would Keep The HP Support Assistant (At Least for the first couple of years). I've found that whenever a BIOS update is recommended for your Systems, the Manufacture Will Offer this to you First. Along with any specialty programs they may have preinstalled on your system (Sound Audio drivers Etc.).
I Hope This Helps You...

Windows will take care of a lot of drivers, but there are some things that HP doesn't put up on Windows Update. And for firmware updates, those go through the HP Support Assistant so if you don't want to be checking HP's website manually for firmware updates, the Support Assistant is handy.
