(Driver Backup) methods.


The two main ways to do gat copies of your device files are.
3rd party Software
_ An external software with a user friendly interface. ( Usually this can also be used later to re install the files )
_ manually copying and storing / or using short , CMD / Windows Shell , type command lines to semi automate copying and storing.


As a working example, I will list and store as much as I can using both methods, or a combinations of both methods, as well as noting other things such as the existing state of the device Manager.

Then I will try to compare the situation after a system re install with the situation before

The next posts may be a bit poorly organised as I do various things to document the situation of the computer Before
It is a bit of a chicken and egg situation for me. I don't know exactly what to do until I done it already
I may tidy them up later
