Safe way to install missing drivers
Just reinstalled Windows, and now half my stuff isn’t working. No internet, no sound, and my graphics are stuck on low resolution. I checked, and it looks like a bunch of drivers are missing. The problem is, I can’t even go online to download them. What’s the best way to install missing drivers without internet?

Classic post-reinstall driver nightmare. You probably need network drivers first, otherwise, you can’t download anything. If you have another device, you can download the drivers onto a USB stick and install them manually. But if you’re missing multiple drivers, a driver updater tool can help once you get online. Have you tried any?

Re: Safe way to install missing drivers
Yeah, I tried downloading some from another PC, but I’m not sure I got the right ones. It’s such a hassle figuring out what to install manually. Once I get my internet working, I’ll need a way to update everything else without messing up my system. Any recommendations?

If you already have a few drivers manually installed, the next step is an automatic tool to handle the rest. I’ve used DriverHub for this. Once you get internet access, it scans your PC and installs all missing drivers in one go. No need to dig through manufacturer websites. It also has an offline installer feature, so you can download the setup on another PC and run it without internet. Super useful in cases like yours.

Re: Safe way to install missing drivers
Here's how you can install missing drivers without internet:
[list=1]
[*][color=var(--tw-prose-bold)]Use another computer with internet[/color] to download the necessary drivers from the manufacturer's website for your computer or components (e.g., graphics card, sound card, network card).
[*][color=var(--tw-prose-bold)]Transfer the drivers to a USB drive[/color] and connect it to the computer without internet.
[*][color=var(--tw-prose-bold)]Install the drivers[/color] using Device Manager or by running the installation files directly.
[/list]
You can also use software like [color=var(--tw-prose-bold)]Driver Easy[/color], which allows you to scan your system and download drivers offline using another computer with internet.
