Was it a mistake to uninstall Flash Player from Windows 8?

[lulusf4]

I have a Lenovo Y580 Laptop with IE10 windows 8.  I was not able to view embedded videos on websites and searched the problem online.  Somewhere I ran in to information about glitches with Flash Player and Windows 8.  I found instructions on how to delete Flash Player files from Windows 8 using a combination of the steps on the websites below.  Now I am able to view embedded videos but I don't understand exactly what I did/whether I will have issues in the future due to deleting Flash.  Now when I type in the search box for Flash Player it shows a Flash Player 32 Bit Flash Settings Manager.  Im confused as to what I deleted and what the cons to this may be as  I am not super computer savvy

Hi,

Flash Player is integrated with Internet Explorer in Windows 8. It's unnecessary to install or uninstall Flash Player.

Since you have uninstalled, you may want to look at this document for reinstalling Flash Player: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html

Flash Player is also preinstalled on Chrome; maybe you need to enable it?

For Firefox you need to separately install the Flash Player plugin: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
