Karabasas Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Hi guys, I used few in the past as DriverMax, etc... Got to do clean reinstallation on two laptops ( one win 8, other win7 x64) both will have new w7 x32 installed and manufacturers don't provide all as per what I need, also its the time in all of that quite unnecessary individual searches etc.I've tried front pages app- didn't like it, I wander if there is some good freeware or free app, so installation would be painless and quick?Thanks!

Carver Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 This is what I use. It hasn't been updated in awhile but still works perfectly for me. I used it when I did a clean install of Windows 10 on my laptop that originally had 8.1Double Driverhttp://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/double_driver.htmlNOTE:I edited the download link to include one from Majorgeeks instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karabasas Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 Looks good too, TY!This is what I use. It hasn't been updated in awhile but still works perfectly for me. I used it when I did a clean install of Windows 10 on my laptop that originally had 8.1Double Driverhttp://www.boozet.org/dd.htm Welcome to Double DriverOne of the main reasons why you would want to collect installed drivers is if you don’t have the Driver CD that came with the computer or they are unavailable online. This comes in quite handy if you purchase a computer and want to backup the initial set of drivers. It can be quite difficulty for example to find drivers for hardware installed in a notebook if the operating system has to be setup again. Luckily Double Driver can now lend you a hand with that and save you a lot of time.Double Driver is a very simple and useful tool which not only allows you to view all the drivers installed on your system but also allows you to backup, restore, save and print all chosen drivers.Double Driver analyzes your system and lists the most important driver details such as version, date, provider, etc. All drivers that are found can easily be backed up the application and easily restored at a later point in one go.

usro Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Tried, but say "This command can only be used with an offline image".Found information: Add and Remove Drivers to an Offline Windows Image https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh825070.aspxThksYeah, my bad. Unfortunately /add-driver command doesn't work with the /online flag. But due to the windows recovery environment (WinRE) is a WinPE based, I think it can be possible to restore the drivers with DISM from WinRE too.On Win 8.x/10Open Settings, and click/tap on the Update & security icon. Click/tap on Recovery on the left side, and click/tap on Restart now under Advanced startup. Click/tap Troubleshoot, then click/tap Advanced Options, then Command Prompt.On command prompt typec:Press enter then typedism /add-driver /image:c:\ /driver:<your driver backup path> /RecurseIt should add the drivers from backup folder into C.
