I’m using another pc to install the drivers onto a usb 

You need to extract them so that the .inf files are in the root folder of the flash drive as this is the folder you are pointing the installer to

[kevinpwp]

I tried it both zipped and extracted all the files but I keep getting that the files aren’t there 

[MrSimplicity]

pnputil /add-driver E:\*.inf /install        You're missing the . between * and inf

[MrSimplicity]

and the .inf files from the driver packages are directly in the root folder of the drive?

[MrSimplicity]

What might have to happen is that you have to replace the * with the actual file name of the driver

So it’ll be 

pnputil /add-driver E:\(file name) .inf /install 

?

[MrSimplicity]

PNPUTIL [/add-driver <...> | /delete-driver <...> |
         /export-driver <...> | /enum-drivers [<...>] |
         /enum-devices [<...>] | /enum-devicetree [<...>] |
         /disable-device <...> | /enable-device <...> |
         /restart-device <...> | /remove-device <...> |
         /scan-devices [<...>] | /enum-classes [<...>] |
         /enum-interfaces [<...>] | /enum-containers [<...>] | /?]

Commands:

  /add-driver <filename.inf | *.inf> [/subdirs] [/install] [/reboot]

    Add driver package(s) into the driver store.
      /subdirs - traverse sub directories for driver packages.
      /install - install/update drivers on any matching devices.
      /reboot - reboot system if needed to complete the operation.

    Examples:
      Add driver package:
        pnputil /add-driver x:\driver.inf
      Add multiple driver packages:
        pnputil /add-driver c:\oem\*.inf
      Add and install driver package:
        pnputil /add-driver device.inf /install

 

 

This is directly from CMD's pnputil command list.

 

 

 

So as long as the .inf files are in the root directory of the drive the command you are using should work.

pnputil /add-driver E:\drivername.inf /install

 

according to the command list, even if the inf files are not in the root folder this command should work

 

pnputil /add-driver E:\*.inf /subdirs /install

 

not entirely sure, like I said I've never done this before and honestly learning right along side you here

I just restart now right ?

[MrSimplicity]

try doing it without the /install

it says that 0 were added so I'm wondering if just adding them will get them installed on next boot

Not always the case, if you don't have the correct USB drivers and especially network drivers, USB tethering doesn't always work

The whole point of all that was so you could install the drivers on your other OS. if you don't plan on doing that at this point you can just download and install the drivers by hitting the update driver button and pointing the installer to the driver you want to install.

[MrSimplicity]
