    So its my first time experiencing Windows arm
    I got a asus novago tp370ql that needs re-formating.
    I got the latest arm64 release from UPP dump but I cant find any drivers.
    Does Windows arm need them or the're installed automatically?

    It's really just a computer, that have been made for throwing away as soon as possible.
    But if you got it for free and you have a lot of time, then you can try, maybe you can really do something about it. I don't know and at the same time I don't believe, because according to the information I know, this is the most unhappy computer in the world that has ever been made. Its rightful place is on the dump.
    Don't worry, on the dump maybe find also something better, so if You already there, take a time and look around carefully.

    The asus support page doesn't seem to have any drivers available, like for ANY os. So if it needs reformatting, just perform the installation and check for updates in the windows update section.

    In any case keep a backup of the driverstore folder of your current system, then you will find everything yuo need inside it (assuming now you have all the drivers installed)

    if you didnt reformat yet or u can access to the storage, try to make a backup of the drivers folder of that system
    otherwise only WU may help

    Backing up the driver folder is useless. As I wrote above the driverSTORE folder needs to be backed up.
