Dumb question

[GeorgeKellow]

If I do a fresh install of windows, do I need to update every driver again? 

[Guest]

On a custom built system or prebuilt

most likely the fresh install of windows on a prebuilt comes with the drivers

Custom system you'll need to reinstall the drivers

[Altecice]

Short answer - Yes you will need to install the drivers that Windows Update cant find.

[Gikero]

Yes you will, and it isn't too big of a deal.

OEM systems will have drivers readily available on their site. Pre-built, just go grab drivers and put on a flash drive before doing the fresh install.

Usually only GPU drivers. For most systems network, audio, integrated graphic and similar drivers is installed with windows.

Could be a problem. Find drivers of your card in their website for windows version you are going to install.

In any case, working network drivers matters the most. If any other drivers will be missing you'll be able to download them later anyway.

I've got a USB dongle network card thing anyway, If it doesn't work, then I might use this
