Hello, My question is I want to remove old installed drivers from a laptop ssd to desktop without wiping windows & my games programs-files, whats the way of going about it?

Just did a new build today & moved my m.2 to new computer from a laptop I have been using.
Windows fired up & reinstalled Nvidia drivers. Everything seems fine so far.

I was able to open up Doom which was restored also & ran perfectly on the new hardware, by the way Both systems are Asus-Intel-Nvidia; that is the Motherboards cards etc.

I am not doing a clean install of windows because I am currently playing Oblivion with mods & am a little insecure about losing it all but at the same time want to play on the newer Equipment.

I have CMD
sfc /Scannow
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

It found some bad files & fixed them
Is there a way to get all the drivers cleaned up from the m.2 running on the laptop?

Or just run it as is & fix as errors crop up if any?
I would perfer to get it as clean as possible.


Thanks in advance

Not knowing your exact situation, what I've always done is simply install the new drivers for the board, do a Win Update for the rest, and then reboot and run CCleaner to clean up most of the registry errors, junk files, etc.
