This is quite a help for me. Thanks dude… just needed this one.
Thank you for this list.
The Windows disk will install the drivers for the majority of your hardware.If any drivers are not included on the disk, you can get them from the hardware manufacturer’s web site.
They should have a place where you enter in what model of computer you have, and they should have a download section with all the drivers you need.
Thank you for sharing great list
