Is it possible to archive / save all of my current windows 7 evaluation hardware drivers prior to doing the clean install of full 7 ultimate?

Is there another method for Achieving the same goal?

Thank you for your support.....

I've ready that if you save the contents of \Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository off to USB, you can later point the Driver Update function in Device Manager to that saved folder and it will find the drivers and reinstall all of them.

But ... I've not tested this and confirmed it works.

You are a genius sir! That method works. If you copy that folder (Windows/system32/driverstore) when you reinstall, all your drivers will match, and no restarts, or the proverbial mad driver search, just point it ti that directory, nice work!
