Greetings, If you’ve been struggling with driver issues after installing a fresh copy of Windows, especially on slightly older hardware, I’ve got a method that might save you a lot of frustration. This is something I personally use on my 6th-gen Intel system. It helps ensure I get only the drivers that are truly compatible with my hardware, without having to rely on third-party tools or bloated driver installers. It does take a bit of time and patience, but the results are worth it. Here's how I do it. Step-by-Step Process 1. Start with a Windows version that matches your hardware generation The first thing you’ll want to do is install a version of Windows that was released around the same time your hardware came out. For example, my system uses a 6th-gen Intel CPU, so I went with Windows 10 LTSB 2016. That version already includes native support for most of the hardware from that era, which makes the initial driver installation much smoother. 2. Do a clean install and connect to the internet Install Windows from scratch and make sure you're connected to the internet. Let Windows take its time to fetch and install the necessary drivers. On my system, this took around an hour over a wired Ethernet connection. 3. Check Device Manager Once everything’s installed, open Device Manager and make sure there are no yellow warning icons. If everything looks clean, you’re good to go. 4. Back up your drivers using PnPUtil After all the drivers are installed correctly, open Command Prompt as Administrator and run the following command: Code: PnPUtil /export-driver * "D:\Drivers_Backup" Replace D:\Drivers_Backup with whatever folder path you prefer. This will export all third-party drivers into that folder. Spoiler: output Code: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14393] (c) 2016 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Install your preferred Windows version (offline) Now it’s time to install the version of Windows you actually want to use. It could be a newer build of Windows 10 or even Windows 11. The important part is to stay offline during setup so Windows doesn’t automatically try to install its own drivers, which may not be ideal for your hardware. 6. Restore your drivers from the backup Once Windows is installed, you can restore the drivers from your backup. Here’s a simple batch script you can use (Driver_Restore.cmd): Code: call :execute >"%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Drivers_Restore_log.txt" 2>&1 exit /b 0 :execute PnPUtil /add-driver "D:\Drivers_Backup\*.inf" /subdirs /install /reboot Make sure you run the script as Administrator. How to Tell if It Worked If your system reboots automatically after running the script, that means all the drivers were installed successfully.

You can check the Drivers_Restore_log.txt file to see which drivers were skipped. If some of them weren’t needed, you can go ahead and remove them from your backup folder. That’ll help keep your backup clean and efficient. Ideally, the number of drivers in your backup folder (Total driver packages) should match the number actually in use (Added driver packages). Why this method works By starting with a Windows version that's built for your hardware's generation, you let Microsoft install the best-matched drivers. Then you carry that known-good driver set over to a more current Windows version, without letting Windows Update interfere. This gives you a much cleaner and more stable setup. It also avoids relying on bloated or risky third-party driver installers, which often bring in unnecessary software or incorrect versions. A few things to keep in mind This process takes time, and you'll be installing Windows at least twice. Make sure to back up your important data before starting. It's best suited for users who are comfortable with clean installs and using the command line. Final thoughts If you're using an older system and having trouble getting all the right drivers on a newer version of Windows, this method gives you more control. You get only the drivers you actually need, and nothing else. It’s not the fastest process, but once you’ve done it, you’ll have a reliable driver backup you can use anytime. Hope this helps someone out there.
some drivers are dependent on windows updates. for example on surface laptop 7 (intel version): touchpad works on 1904x builds after .3036 update and doesn't work on 1904x builds below .3036 and older builds, audio works on 1904x builds after .1503 update and doesn't work on 1904x builds below .1503 and older builds
Another day, another test—this time with an Intel 11th-generation system. I'm using the same Windows version (OS Build 19045.6332) for both the backup and driver restoration processes. In the original post, I forgot to explain how to identify which drivers are preventing the system from rebooting automatically, even when using the /reboot command during backup. Here's how to figure that out. After restoring the drivers from your backup folder, if the system doesn’t reboot on its own, just restart it manually. Then, go to the folder where the Drivers_Restore_log.txt file is saved. Open it and look for drivers that are already up-to-date on your device. Skip any that are listed in a "mixed" state (meaning they’re both installed and up to date). Mixed state: Code: Adding driver package: tigerlakepch-lpsystem.inf_amd64_32ec9114ca8377cf\tigerlakepch-lpsystem.inf Driver package added successfully.

During the second Windows installation, 58 of them were restored. The remaining 5 weren’t restored because they were already up-to-date. These are the ones that prevented the system from rebooting automatically. Once you identify them, you can delete the corresponding driver folders from the backup directory. This will leave you with the minimal set of drivers needed for your system. You can also use this same set for offline image integration using the W10UI.cmd script.

I often get asked to clean install notebooks, AIO's and PC's because of Bloat. No one needs all that trial junk & office in every language. From oobe, you could shift+F10 and then run dism to backup drivers: Code: dism /online /export-driver /destination:Driver-Backups Driver-Backups is a folder on my usb key. My clean install is done through WinPE, so after applying the image with dism, I can then add the drivers: Code: Dism /Image:W:\ /Add-Driver /Driver:U:\Driver-Backups /Recurse /Forceunsigned I can then boot into Audit mode, install Visual C++ Redistributables, etc, create a Provisioning package then Sysprep. True it's all newer hardware, but I have upgraded the OS on some of the older stuff without issue. Perhaps using the pnputil is a more elegant/safer solution...
Greetings, forum! I’m thrilled to announce that my script has reached its final stage of development and is so close to release! After tons of testing and fine-tuning features, it’s just about ready for the community. I’m adding the final polish now and getting everything ready for the upcoming release. Stay tuned!
