My desktop PC is Skylake with all fairly high end, popular brand parts that people use in gaming rigs specifically made for running Windows and I have to keep a folder around with about 20-25 things (drivers, chipset drivers, nic drivers, yadda yadda) everytime I boot.
Reinstalled a few months ago and forgot to install Samsung Magician for my NVME drives and so they were capped at something like half their speed.
I don't expect Microsoft to keep up with every vendors drivers but it'd be really nice if they let them tie into Windows update/device manager to tell you "Hey, swozey, I see hardwareID XYXYASUhF12 is running a generic driver, do you want to update to your vendor proprietary driver?"
Maybe they do have that and hardware manufacturers just don't utilize it.
After dealing with that 3-5 times over the last year (migrating to NVMEs, realizing I couldn't encrypt mine, migrating back, yadda yadda) I finally made a Veeam restore ISO which hopefully next time I do this will handle all of it. But I feel like it shouldn't take that to get my system up and running from a fresh install.
