Windows 10 And 8.1 Backup Driver Files And Folders - Helps Restore Windows Backing up the Windows 10 and 8.1 drivers files and folders has many benefits. If one has driver issues one can restore the folder/files. Also if one has an image clone using Acronis or Macrium etc. and moves to a new computer then by backing up and restoring drivers (from the new PC to the clone image) one might be able to get the image backup to work on a new pc. Such can also be used to migrate old hardware to new systems.
