installing all drivers from USB/They are all .zip files

[boorego]

I'm using a fully blank hard drive and a motherboard without the support disk or anything. Which means I won't be able to use the internet on my new computer to find the drivers online, till I first install the Wifi/Lan Drive.

However they are all .zip files. How will I open and run these if I can't use the internet to get like 7zip, or anything?

I'm really confused...

Download 7Zip setup from elsewhere.
I think windows 7 has a built in zip utility.

If you install Windows XP or newer, the OS has a built in unzipping utility that you can use. So opening zip files shouldn't be too difficult. RAR/7zip files are a little bit more complicated.

I'd just download the wifi/Ethernet driver move driver via USB key to the new computer and then use that computer to download the rest.

Windows handles zip files natively. You should see a folder icon with a zipper when you look at a zipped file/folder. (A zip file is actually inherently a folder.)

windows will also very likely and install some drivers that will get the network working.
