Optimize driver setup on Windows 10 for quicker performance.
Optimize driver setup on Windows 10 for quicker performance.
I'm looking to add my drivers to a Windows 10 installation USB. This way, I won't have to worry about finding drivers later. Since I reinstall Windows yearly for a fresh start, it can be frustrating when drivers aren't available. Sometimes enabling Ethernet drivers works after the install, but other times it doesn't. Having the drivers already on the installation media would save me a lot of hassle. Please let me know if you have any experience with this.
Your message lacks clarity. You're asking about building a Windows installer with drivers, but after a year, using a "clean install" again might make the media obsolete. I suggest avoiding a clean install—it’s unnecessary. Particularly if issues arise later.
Use Back Driver to backup and recover drives swiftly. Drives can be inserted using DISM, though this process is more complex than creating a simple clone image.
Save links to drivers you use so you can install the newest versions after setting up the operating system. Windows 10 usually manages most drivers itself, but for things like GPUs and certain accessories, you may have to handle them separately.
