    I had to install a network adapter driver the other day. Had to use my wife’s computer to download into a flash drive and bring it over to my computer with zero network connectivity.

    Granted, this only happened because my network card was broken.

      In my old tech bin there’s a bag of usb WiFi dongles and a thumb drive with all the drivers.

        I work in a Win-centric PC shop. USB dongle (WiFi or Ethernet adapter) is by far the best way. Virtually all drivers download automatically with rare exceptions (specifically GPU drivers or weird import components).
