Installing drivers on a new Asus Laptop
I just bought an Asus Vivobook which I am really liking. But I will need to do a fresh install of Windows 11. The amount of bloatware and crap that is on my computer is unbelievable.
I am planning on using NTLite to make a custom install disk (A good program I've used before).
My question is installing all the drivers. I was originally thinking of manually downloading each one, one at a time, but after looking at the driver page, there are lots and lots of drivers. It would be a daunting task to do it that way.
It looks like Asus has a link that says One-click driver download and install. I've never used anything like that before so I'm naturally curious.
I just don't want to find myself in a position where there comes a time in which there are no drivers. Asus pulled them from the site.
That is why I originally thought it would be a good idea to manually download what I need (maybe all of them?) then I would have them on my external hard drive for safekeeping.
Would be nice if they offered a way to automatically download all the drivers and save them to any location you wanted.
In order for me to even get to the Asus site I will need internet access first, so it seems to me I would need to at least have already downloaded the WLAN Driver to get my Wi-fi going, and then get to the site and hit the One-click driver button and hope the process is pretty much automated.
Am I on the right track here?

Since you need internet access to download drivers from Asus, start by downloading the Wi-Fi driver manually from the Asus support page for your specific model. Install the Wi-Fi driver first so you can connect to the internet, which will make downloading other drivers easier.
