@ai_discovery_: How to Back Up and Restore Windows Drivers Without Third-Party Apps Reinstalling Windows does not have to mean spending hours searching for and reinstalling every driver manually. You can use built-in Windows tools to back up third-party drivers and restore them after a clean installation. The process shown in the infographic is straightforward: Open Terminal or Command Prompt as Administrator Create a destination folder, such as C:\DriverBackup Run the DISM command: dism /online /export-driver /destination:C:\DriverBackup Wait for the export to finish After reinstalling Windows, open Device Manager For any device missing a driver, choose Update driver and point Windows to the backup folder Alternatively, use this command in an elevated terminal: pnputil /add-driver C:\DriverBackup\*.inf /subdirs /install This backup mainly exports third-party drivers installed on your computer, while many Microsoft drivers are automatically restored by Windows. Before making changes, create a restore point and keep the backup on an external drive or cloud storage. #Windows #WindowsDrivers #DriverBackup #DriverRestore #WindowsTips #WindowsTutorial #DISM #PnPUtil #DeviceManager #PCFix #TechTips #Windows11 #Windows10 #ComputerTips #SystemAdmin #DigitalSkills #AIDiscovery
