Can an driver I want to load to another computer be downloaded from one computer using a flash drive and installed on another computer from the flash drive and if so how is that done? I am trying to help someone I know who has this question.
Thanks for your help

Yes. No problem with that. Actually, I just downloaded motherboard & video card drivers (for Windows 7 64-bit) using my friend's computer and save it in my USB Flash Drive. Then transferred it to my own computer and installed it.

IowaMrs. I am not quite clear of exactly what the process it is that you want to follow to get this driver. Both routes are possible via your method. Is the driver already in existence on the "other" computer and stored somewhere and you want to make a copy? Or do you want to use the "other" computer to go to the particular driver site and download it to your flash drive? The 2nd is a bit easier and the method i would recommend. Simply have the flash drive plugged into the "other" computer and once located direct the download of the driver to the flash drive. Bring the flash drive to the destination computer and once recognized (the flash drive) install from the driver icon visible in the open window of the flash drive.truenorth

Your 2nd explanation was what I was looking for and has cleared everything up for me about being able to down load a driver to a flash drive. Thank you for your response Truenorth. It is what I thought, but just wanted to be sure.
