Easy and Free Driver Backup and Restore
An easy way to backup and restore your drivers!
Walk-through and Tutorial
This is the command prompt code: dism /online /export-driver /destination:"replace this with full path of backup folder"
Or, from viewer 'instarshine,' this alternative one-step comment:
1. Create the backup folder and export drivers simultaneously: mkdir C:\Drivers & pnputil /export-driver * C:\Drivers Breakdown: mkdir C:\Drivers: Creates a new folder named "Drivers" on your C drive. &: The ampersand acts as a command separator, allowing you to execute multiple commands in sequence. pnputil /export-driver * C:\Drivers: Exports all drivers to the newly created "Drivers" folder.
2. Reinstall drivers from the automatically created backup folder: pnputil /add-driver C:\Drivers\*.inf /subdirs /install /reboot This command remains unchanged as it already targets the "Drivers" folder, regardless of whether it was manually created or created through the previous command. Key points: Run both commands in an elevated Command Prompt window for necessary permissions.
Monitor progress and errors: Keep an eye on the Command Prompt during both commands. Manual folder creation option: If you prefer, you can still create the "Drivers" folder manually before running the export command. Additional considerations: Folder path: Feel free to adjust the folder path (e.g., D:\Drivers) if you prefer a different location.
Free space: Ensure sufficient free space on the chosen drive for exported drivers. Reboot: The second command will initiate a reboot after installation.
