toniaccio21,
One option you have, if you currently have Windows installed on the unit you plan on performing the clean install on, is saving the Driver File Repository to a USB flash drive or similar. This way, if you perform a clean install, you'll have the the drivers from the prior install, which, unless the new install is a large leap from the prior, will work. Like if you were going from 1909 to 20H2, the drivers will work fine, though a couple of them might later update via Windows Update.
The file you want to save is located in the following location, and it's the "FileRepostitory".
C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore
That File Repository folder contains all of the drivers on your system, and you can then use that folder, on the USB flash drive you saved it on, as the search location when installing each needed driver after the clean install. When you choose that folder, the system will automatically find the correct driver and install it.
Again, this is just an option, but it's the one I use when performing a clean install of the newest version on any/all of my Windows computers. Again, a few of them will likely still update through Windows update afterward, being that its a new version of Windows and there may be new versions of the drivers for it.
Hope this helps. |
