I have seen both in Windows 7 and 8 a prompt for missing drivers which opens a dialog that permits you to choose a directory, from which all drivers are shown and can be filtered to hide those which are not compatible with the computer, AND you can then select and install ALL of them!
I want to know if I can run that feature on purpose to install drivers offline, without Windows Update, using a set of drivers I provide.
I’m also wondering if the drivers installed during that step make it into the Windows 7 Installation proper, in which case I may just re-install from scratch simply to get the option to do that mass/bulk/batch driver install option, without the need for a 3rd party utility.

If anyone is curious, I just made a fresh Windows 7 UEFI installation on a 4TB 4kn GPT-formatted drive, on a Gigabyte motherboard with a Ryzen 2nd gen APU through USB3.0 ports. It can be done, though if you have a class 3 UEFI mobo you will have to kill vga.sys
