Make a backup to your drivers before you reinstall your windows

Double Driver 
 Make Drivers Backup

Double Driver is an excellent free driver backup app that's seriously easy to use.

Drivers are pretty boring, but backups are really important. If you ever need to reinstall Windows, you'll have to manually find and install all the missing drivers that make your hardware work - unless you use an app like Double Driver to back them up before that happens.

Double Driver is a great app - it's free, portable and, most importantly, efficient. When you open it up, hit Backup. You can then choose to scan your current system or an alternative location. Once you've scanned, Double Driver will have automatically selected non-Microsoft drivers (the ones that will be missing if you need to reinstall your system). You can obviously change this if you want to.

Once you've chosen the drivers, you can then back them up to a standard folder, .ZIP file or .EXE. If you ever need to restore your drivers, open up Double Driver and click Restore. You can then choose the backed up file and load it, restoring your drivers. Just remember that if you do reinstall Windows, keep a copy of the driver backup somewhere safe!

If there is any complaint, it's that Double Driver has no help, but as drivers are a fairly easy area to deal with this shouldn't cause you any problems.

For simple driver back-ups, you can't find any better than Double Driver.

SlimDrivers 
 Finds appropriate Drivers for your PC

SlimDrivers is a driver management tool that combines all the features you would expect in driver software into a product that is entirely free.

SlimDrivers will scan your computer and tell exactly how many drivers - and Windows updates - are missing. It will then allow you to download the missing ones, but in order to do this, you'll need to register. This is free and only takes a bare miniute or two, but users who were accustomed to unencumbered use before might baulk.

SlimDrivers also offers you a back-up and restore function, which will be essential if you notice any problems after updating - or if you want to make a copy of your drivers when you format your PC, for example. There is also a driver uninstall facility.

Adding to SlimDrivers' good points is a scan scheduling function. On the negative side, the software has a strangely old-fashioned appearance and once you install your new drivers, SlimDrivers forces a computer restart.

SlimDrivers is a free driver maintenance tool that blows a lot of the competition out of the water.
