A drivers upgrade (or back grad eor ...) trick that I read about long ago but have never tried is - Point path to old Windows locations that have drivers etc therein. - Install new Windows in a new directory eg C:\WINDOZE or whatever. Claimed that system will pick up what it wants from old locations. I can't see this being anything like a complete solution. Hopefully I'm wrong.
