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?

It is better if you keep the setup files, not the drivers them self.

So copy this folder into the new folder and why is it better? Are the missing drivers also there?

Because they may not be reusable unless you install it with installer.

So you have to install the missing drivers manually again? Or what you suggest if you have an working laptop and want to install it again?

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.

So you still have to download all the drivers missing and if someone is hard to find then its a long way. But thats OK, then I close the topic.

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.
