in what folder are driver files stored
The installation files are retained in the DriverStore folder. If you use an older version of Windows â like XP â the driver files will be stored in a different location, most often Windir\System32\drivers and the INF files will be stored separately, in a hidden directory called.Windir\inf.
If youâre running Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8, device drivers are stored in a folder called âDriver Store.â You can find Driver Store by going to C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore, assuming that youâve got a standard installation of the Windows operating system.
