Running a later model laptop of the win7 generation now running nicely under 8.1. Now I'm re-paving it and need to ensure that current drivers are available to the next install as painlessly as is possible. I don't want to wade thru the vendor's site hoping to coax them to give me 8.1 stuff when they have me of record at win7.

Is there a single place to go to copy folders off to a USB?

Drivers are stored in the C:\Windows\System32 folder copy to them in the USB drive. But do take a note that if you replace the drivers for a newly installed version, Please restart the system.
