Windows 10 drivers install - Yassinoreall - Jul 4, 2018
Hello,
I want to install a fresh windows 10, as you know after installation I must install all drivers which I already have downloaded.
My question is there a way to create an automatic installer from the drivers I already have.
Thank you.

Unless you have some really strange hardware setup the only driver you should really need to manually download and install is the driver for your graphics card.

I agree with webdev77. If you have a fresh install of Win10, all the native drivers will be installed. That's why you may see the occasional message "Getting Devices Ready". Depending on your motherboard (or the actual laptop you have), you may seek the optimal drivers for your device once you have an internet connection.

This.
Do not fall for those programs that search trough all your directories to install updates.

I've had to do this before because I have a laptop with some fucky driver requirements. What you're looking for is in C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore. Save those to a flashdrive them install what you need manually later.

Windows 10 should automatically install all your drivers.

There's a difference between installing missing drivers and updating to the latest version. MOST hardware drivers are sent to Windows 10 update catalog so you get the latest driver updates but that's MOST of the time. Not always.
If you have a OEM Pre Built like Dell, Lenovo, HP, etc. you can either use their automatic tool or manually download each driver from their website (manual preferred).
Don't go downloading ANY driver. Sometimes Windows 10 pushes an update that has a newer version than what that OEM manufacturer has. Great example are the display drivers HP and them list. They're outdated... Verify you're installing a newer version.
Also, create a system restore point in case something goes wrong.
If custom built, go to your motherboards driver page (make sure it's correct motherboard model and rev #) and install the newest driver (verify versions here too). Otherwise the only other hardware is your graphics card that requires a standalone (NVidia/AMD) driver update.
Don't forget the BIOS update and if you wanna go all out, some hardware have firmware updates. Do your research on that if you wish. Lastly, keep in mind updating to latest version won't make your computer any faster.
PS: NEVER EVER USE DRIVERUPDATE (by Slimware) OR ANY OTHER SOFTWARE NOT OFFICIAL BY THE OEM. Aura explains Drivers in this post the best: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/581634/driver-update-is-this-malware/?p=3750539
