This core library is copied during Windows setup to a protected system folder, which means that most devices will work immediately after you finish Windows 10 Setup.<\/p>\n<p>But unlocking the full capabilities of a device sometimes requires a third-party driver and control software, which can be installed by an OEM on a new PC or delivered via Windows Update. (You can also acquire up-to-date drivers by downloading them from the hardware vendor's website and running an installer program.)<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of how they're acquired, all these added drivers (along with setup information files and supporting files required for installation) are saved in their own sub-folders within a special system folder. Back up that folder and you can save yourself hours of searching for drivers if you ever need to reinstall Windows from scratch on that device.<\/p>\n<p>To back up your current collection of drivers, open File Explorer and go to C:\\Windows\\System32\\DriverStore. Copy the FileRepository subfolder to a backup location, such as a USB flash drive or removable hard drive. (This folder and all its sub-folders can be several gigabytes in size, so make sure you use a big enough backup drive.)<\/p>\n<p>After your clean install is complete, you can quickly reinstall any custom drivers by using the Update Driver option from Device Manager and specifying the backed-up copy of the FileRepository folder as the location where you want Windows to look for new driver files.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tracking down drivers and control software for internal and external hardware devices after a clean reinstall of your Windows 10 Operating System doesn't have to be a tedious job.
