  1. Installing drivers to an offline Windows installation


    I have Windows installed on 2 different drives.

    When booted into one drive, I want to be able to install drivers on the other installation which is offline without booting into it.

    I understand I can do this for a Windows Image, I just don't see if or how this translates to an already installed system with the typical directories setup.


    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/add-and-remove-drivers-to-an-offline-windows-image


    Can I specify the Windows directory as an image? e.g.


    dism /Image:OfflineDrive:\Windows /Add-Driver /Driver:C:\drivers /Recurse


    Is it not possible to run exe installations on another drive? e.g. I download NVidia graphics driver installer and I want to have it install on an offline installation rather than my currently active C:\ drive.

    :)

    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.
