Each time you re-install a version of Windows, you must install the drivers. Not a problem if you have all your downloaded drivers or have disks supplied by your hardware vendor. However, some users do not know where the drivers are stored, or where the material that they exist and that are absent. You may still need to find drivers for each device you have. In Windows 10, you can create a backup of all the drivers installed from a Windows operating installation using integrated tools before reinstalling the operating system. You can do this without using third-party tools. It can be very useful if you lost your downloaded or vendor supplied drivers. Let's see how it can be done.
In Windows 10, you can use DISM to manage the drivers you have installed in the running operating system. You can export them to a file using DISM, then re-install Windows and install from that folder again. Here are step by step instructions to do
- Open an elevated command prompt
- In the command prompt as administrator, type or paste the following command ..
dism / online / export pilot / destination: D: MyDrivers
Replace the "D: MyDrivers" part with the actual path to the folder where you will store the drivers. It can be a folder on a separate partition on your drive or a folder on an external drive or USB flash drive.
The switches "/ line / export driver" say DISM to search for the drivers in the folder. "C: Windows System32 DriverStore" the running operating system
- When starting, DISM will produce output like this:
This . Now you have made a backup pilot with the DISM tool built! The next time you re-install Windows 10, you'll be able to use this backup to install drivers for all devices
Later, you can restore them using the following command :.
Dism / online / Add-Driver / Driver: D: MyDrivers / Recurse
Tip: You can inspect the drivers installed on an existing installation of Windows quickly using the free tool " DriverStore Explorer [RAPR.exe] ". You can enter HERE . It lists all the drivers installed with a user friendly interface. 
Also, when Windows is reinstalled, you can quickly add drivers to the driver store of the operating system by using the DISM / Add-Driver switch or using this tool. The application requires .NET Framework 3.5. See Offline installation of .NET Framework 3.5 in Windows 10 using DISM.
Note that the driver backup method supports only .inf drivers. The drivers that are installed with Windows Installer (MSI) or other driver packages (such as .exe files) are not supported.
