Backup Drivers:

1. Run Windows command prompt or Windows PowerShell (Admin) with elevated admin permission. (Right on the start button or Win+X key) 

2. Create a new folder where you want to back up all the drivers. Note that there should not be any space in the name of the folder. Ex. Driver backup is fine. But not Driver Backup.
3. Run this command:
dism /online /export-driver /destination:C:\Users\pravi\Downloads\Driverbackup
4. Change the destination address as per your folder location.



5. You will get the successful backup message.
6. Browse to the destination folder to check what you have. You can copy all those files to any other location.

Restore All Drivers:

1. Run command prompt with admin rights.
2. Execute this command:
Dism /online /Add-Driver /Driver:C:\Users\pravi\Downloads\Driverbackup/Recurse
3. This will restore all your drivers.

Restore Selective Drivers:

If you want to install only a few of the drivers, you can manually install them by the traditional method.

• Open the power menu (Right-click on the start button or Win+X keys). >> Device manager >> select the device you want to install drivers for >> Double click >> Drivers Tab >> Update Drivers >> Browse my computer for drivers software >> Next.

Windows will automatically search for correct drivers and install it.
