I've mentioned over in this thread that I bought a Windows 8.1 (with Bing) tablet, called a Tesco Connect, from UK supermarket Tesco.
The main problem is that support is non-existent.
So if I want to download drivers, there's no 'Manufacturer's website' (at least not for the tablet) to get them from.
Luckily the tablet is running fine at the moment, but I want to know the best way to save drivers
Someone has made a Blog post here where they suggest taking a copy of the entire c:\windows\system32 folder on to a USB stick, and then pointing Device manager at that folder to find missing drivers, but it feels like overkill as there are so many files in system32, most of which won't be drivers I imagine.
So I'm hoping there's a better way to save my drivers - how do I do this?
Thanks in advance.

- for some future emergency when I lose the drivers and want to fix that without having to completely wind it back to the last image backup , and
- so I can install Windows 10 and have options if Microsoft's automatic systems can't find drivers
- so I have a set to help other forum members who have the same tablet (as someone asked on the thread I started)
