So I'm currently building a windows pc and don't want to have to deal with Ethernet cables but still need to be able to get drivers, so can I download them on my MacBook or will it format the downloads weird and make them useless on a windows os? If I can download them, would it work if I just threw the necessary CD's into my MacBook? (I don't have an optical drive bay on my pc case)

the files downloaded must be for windows, not dmg files so be sure you download files for windows 64 bit, not autodetected by your web browser for your mac os

then copy them on a usb fat32 formatted device or a ntfs formatted external media and use them

if your pc has a normal ethernet card, the windows installer is very likely to make the ethernet card work for you with the rest of the parts, except the gpu, so you might not need the mac step at all
