those do exist but usually just full of malware

however, i recommend just making a folder and housing all your driver installers, and some information in .txt files and then just put that in usb for l8er

It depends on what brand your PC is, or what motherboard/components it's assembled with. Some models for HP and Dell have these solutions, but given the nature of such packages, driver versions usually won't be cutting edge.
Feel free to list your PC make and model (if pre assembled, like HP etc.), or your PC specs if you want help finding your latest drivers. A tool like Speccy can help you retrieve your specs, if you don't know them: https://www.piriform.com/speccy

It's pretty easy.

Just Google your motherboard make/model. Go to the manufacturer's website. That will give you all the motherboard drivers.

Only other thing you'll need is the vid card driver. That'll be at either amd.com of geforce.com



Other misc. drivers you MAY need like mouse, keyboard, soundcard, etc., will be at their manufacturer's website.





/e The only driver you MAY need ahead of time would be the Ethernet driver from the motherboard manufacturer's website. Once that is installed you can get online to get the others.

Unfortunately, there isn't.

A reboot is required for some driver installs, which may be part of the reason.

What hardware do you need drivers for? Windows and most Linux distros include drivers for the vast majority of hardware. Only driver that's really important to update in most situations is your video card driver if you're a gamer. Otherwise you should only ever really install new drivers manually if the hardware isn't working properly.
