Using sysprep without removing drivers: How to use sysprep without removing drivers: Configure your answer file to persist the drivers by specifying the PersistAllDeviceInstalls setting in the Microsoft-Windows-PnPSysprep. May 02, 2018 Since I keep seeing this myth thrown around on Spiceworks, I decided to make a thread: Sysprep does not remove device drivers. Admittedly, Microsoft has not helped with the myth. They have even incorrectly repeated it. But the truth is that Sysprep does not screw with drivers.
- I was just wondering if the sysprep process uninstalls drivers when it does a -mini - reseal such as sound drivers etc, I think I read somewhere it removes network drivers, DNS, IP settings and cleans out event veiwer. I'm just wondering as we have been imaging many different computer platforms with the same image for awhile but have just started to get.
- If you must add a device driver to an image that uses the PersistAllDeviceInstalls setting, you can update your device drivers by using one of the following methods: Use offline servicing tools, like the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool or an unattended answer file.
- Does Running Sysprep Remove Applications Previously Installed. Ask Question Asked 6 years, 10 months ago. Sysprep does not remove applications. Some applications are sensitive to sysprep, but those are rare exceptions. What does sysprep with the generalize option do on Windows Server 2008 R2?

I have been struggling getting some 3G USB modems and some other hardware to work and in the process I have managed to get a lot of unnecessary and just plain wrong drivers installed. This is causing my system and other hardware to work incorrectly. I would like to remove all the drivers on this system and have windows reinstall all the default drivers.
Can I do this with a Windows 7 repair install or how else can I get rid off all the current drivers.

I would recommend that you do a clean reinstall of Windows 7, that way you can wipe all of the old drivers, and Windows 7 will automatically reinstall the default drivers needed (for the most part).
The Intel GMA 3600 graphic chip has had issues running Windows 10 but with some tweaking you can make things work using the old Windows 7 driver. Support for Intel graphics hardware in Linux distributions is determined by individual operating system vendors. Intel does not develop distribution-specific drivers for Intel HD graphics. All Linux driver components are up-streamed to their respective repositories once per quarter.

Not sure if this is the right driver or software for your component? Run Intel® Driver & Support Assistant to automatically detect driver or software updates. Gma x3100 driver windows 10.

Aug 08, 2015 GMA drivers or windows 10 How can I get Intel GMA 4500mHD drivers for windows 10? Tried the just released windows 10, the GMA drivers for the previous windows, in my case windows 7 works just fine. Install the drivers,( just ignore the windows warning about the driver being unsigned) 6. If installation is successful, then Reboot.
Obviously, it is not possible to remove all of the drivers in an operating system, because it will break the OS permanently, thus a clean reinstall is pretty much the only way to go..

You can use sysprep tool for that. Just run it from
PomaPomac:windowssystem32sysprepsysprep.exe
, check Generalize

Removing ALL drivers will damage windows and make your life horrible!Your are better off selectively removing the drivers.
Boot from Windows 7 DVDSelect Repair and command prompt
If instead of a wim file your working with an offline copy of windows substitute the path that has the windows folder on it for c:testoffline. When in the command prompt mode from the windows 7 DVD your drive letter may not be the same. Also with an offline copy of windows dism /Mount-Image maybe skipped.
This is all that is require on a offline version of windows.
Lists all drivers
feed the list one at a time into the remove command below. It is only necessary to mount once, not once per driver.
You create an empty folder called test and within that another empty folder called offline. The wim file will be mounted to that folder.
Remove a specific driver from the image. Multiple drivers can be removed on one command line. For example, type:

Removing a boot-critical driver package can make the offline Windows image unbootable
Adding drivers also has a command

EDIT: I was trying this as well:http://www.todo-backup.com/support/tutorial/redeploy-system-to-dissimilar-hardware.htm
EDIT: I tried sysprep but on bootup I see the Windows logo then the system crashes. I can stick the drive back in the old hardware and it runs fine.

Use sysprep to remove your drivers and prepare Windows to be moved to another machine, that's a windows feature specially meant to avoid this kind of incident.
You should pick up OBBE experience and check the generalised option when you have to choose parameters.
Edit: Sysprep shouldn't keep showing the setup menu at every boot, but you need to complete it at least one time, it shouldn't annoy you then.
If the setup menu problem persists then remove your drivers manually from the computer manager, you can do this from the device manager in the computer manager, then moving your disk to your new computer and manually check for drivers from this same computer manager.

Delete the old drivers while still running on the old machine.
When deployed on your new machine, install the new drivers. This must be done on the new machine because many driver installers depend on detection of the hardware they are meant for, so that will fail otherwise.
It is important to delete the old drivers as they could conflict with the new drivers.
Also, do not move your driver folder over to the new system. Download the new drivers from the manufacturers website instead.

Sysprep is only half the solution. Use sysprep, boot to WinPE and then copy an image using DISM to USB or LAN. Apply that image to new PC. Done and Done. Don't make this more complicated than it needs to be.
