Setting up the driver after Windows is installed depends on whether you use a laptop or a desktop PC.
Hello, The drivers for my laptops were already set up after I reinstalled Windows 10 from scratch. I had cleared everything on the laptop before the update. During the installation, there was no data about the drivers. This never happened with Windows 10 on my desktop PC—I always had to install them myself (LAN, Bluetooth, chipset, etc.). Why did this occur? Does Microsoft include all necessary drivers with Windows? If so, do all possible drivers for every laptop come with the installation? That would be unrealistic given the size of the data. I installed Windows 10 using a media creation tool. It’s possible the drivers were saved to the USB drive when I used that tool, and it automatically fetched the laptop model and manufacturer from Microsoft repositories to add them during the setup process.
If the vendor sent drivers to Microsoft, they should be ready for use. But often they aren't the newest versions. Many laptop makers offer an update tool that checks your current drivers and suggests newer ones if available. Windows 10 comes with a large collection of drivers to get you going. For future reference, keep network drivers saved on a different storage device, such as a flash drive. This way, you can still connect and update even if detection fails.
The media creation tool fetches the newest updates and drivers needed by your system before you set up the medium for an upgrade. W10 includes a substantial collection of basic drivers for various devices, and it also automatically pulls in the latest versions via Windows Update after installation. You might also consider using a driver booster or similar software to obtain the most recent drivers for your hardware at once.
