A quicker way is to install all your drivers at once with a driver auto-installer.

Driver Genius makes creating a driver auto-installer a simple process.

Here’s how you do it…

Step 1 — Scan your PC for drivers

Start Driver Genius and click Backup Drivers on the main menu.

Driver Genius will now scan your PC to gather information about your drivers.

Step 2 — Choose which drivers to back up

You have to option to back up your currently used drivers, original Windows drivers, and disconnected device drivers.

They’re all selected by default, leave it as it is, unless there are drivers you don’t want to back up.

Click Next.

Step 3 — Choose the backup type and location

Driver Genius gives you four backup types.

The option you want is Auto-Installer Archive.

The driver auto-installer will be saved to the default backup folder C:\Documents and Settings\[Your Windows Username]\My Documents\DriverGenius\Backup.

Click Browse if you want to save the auto-installer somewhere else.

I’m saving it to a folder on my backup hard drive.

Click Next.

Step 4 — Start the backup

Driver Genius will now create the driver auto-installer.

This process took about 20 minutes on my computer.

Click Finish when it’s done.

Step 5 — Check your auto-installer

Go to your backup folder.

Double click on the auto-installer to launch it and you should see something like this:

And that’s it. Done.
