Pre-installed drivers W7 stored?
Is there an place in W7 where the pre-installed drivers are stored, so if you want to install the pc/notebook again that you can run the missing drivers or copy a map or something?

Hi,
Drivers are stored in Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository. Please update your system specs with your notepad model no:. You can also download the drivers from your laptop's manufacturer's website.
If you install a notebook again then always drivers missing under the tab "Other Devices" like an ethernet controller. Can you then copy the FileRepository folder so you have all the drivers? Or do you have the missing drivers search on the manufacturer's website and run the .exe programs manually or else?
Get the driver files that you DOWNLOADED from your manufacturer's website and put it on a thumb drive. Then, you can run them from the reinstalled version of Windows in case the internet does not work on the computer. If it does, just get the drivers from the Internet.
Yes, but the setup files not the actual files. And download them before you do a clean install in case the Ethernet/WiFi doesn't work.
