Installing drivers from USB

[OzzyMarz]

I'm thinking about building my own PC and I fully understand the hardware part of the build but I'm not very confident about installing drivers, is there a way to install drivers on to a USB flash drive from another PC and install them on the newly built one. Also where do you store the drivers to, just your hard drive / SSD I'm guessing?

Yes, head to the mobo vendors website & download the drivers for the Motherboard/OS pairing.
Store than on a folder on USB flash, copy over, extract the zip & install.

IF you're using W10, it should have a network driver built in that will at least let you online to download your drivers from the system you want to use (and skip the USB step).

Oh didn't know they had a built in driver, so I just download drivers straight from the website to my hard drive?

Correct. Then extract the zip file & run the 'setup.exe' and let each one install.
