Windows 10: How do I reinstall a keyboard driver without using a keyboard at all?

I recently went to disable my laptop keyboard as i have an external keyboard I prefer using. While uninstalling my laptops keyboard, i accidentally uninstalled my external keyboard as well. This means i am unable to us either of my keyboards at all, i’ve already tried all the usual, restarting, attaching a different keyboard and all that. Is there a way i can reinstall my external keyboard with only using the mouse?

:)
