This doesn't happen in windows anymore. Over 95% of all drivers auto install.

Yeah the last time I had to install drivers for a network card on Windows was over a decade ago

I had to install a network adapter driver the other day. Had to use my wife's computer to download into a flash drive and bring it over to my computer with zero network connectivity.

Granted, this only happened because my network card was broken.

In my old tech bin there's a bag of usb WiFi dongles and a thumb drive with all the drivers.

I work in a Win-centric PC shop. USB dongle (WiFi or Ethernet adapter) is by far the best way. Virtually all drivers download automatically with rare exceptions (specifically GPU drivers or weird import components).
