What Exactly Happens when Installing Drivers from an Executable File?
I plan on downloading some legacy pci modem drivers and installing them on my Windows 7 machine. I want to be able to back out everything the driver install does, though, if the new drivers don't work. Is that doable?
What I am assuming I would do is
1. Download an exe file from some reputable website onto flash drive, after deciding which one I need.
2. Plug flash drive into Windows 7 computer, double-click on the executable icon, which will copy files into some (unknown?) windows driver directories. Maybe windows\system32\drivers\ ?
Will I be shown the files that were copied, and what directories they went into? Will there be an uninstall option included with the drivers?
Also what are some safe websites (no viruses or bloatware) for downloading drivers?
Thanks
