Greetings,

Welcome to the forum.

I am not a HP employee.

 

You really can't just backup system drivers.

 

You can backup the operating system drive which includes all installed drivers.

 

Open File Explorer. Look for a folder named SWSETUP.

 

This folder contains all the drivers HP installed at the factory.

 

You can backup this folder for future driver reinstallation.

 

You can get system drivers at your PC's HP Software and driver download site. I would direct you to this support site but you have not provided a complete PC product number.

 

Regards

I know this information works in Win10 as I have used it myself; but I do not know if it also works in Win8x:

It's worth a shot to see ...

Good Luck

Hi,

 

That's pretty neat.

 

I did not know you could do this with W10.
