   I'm seriously considering dumping Win 8 from a new computer
and installing either XP Pro or Win 7 very possibly the former--
and keep it on 'til the updates stop nest year and then, if I live
that long, upgrading to Win 7.
  Yeah ---laugh all you want -- but, to my actual question:
   My understand is that I install the OS then install the drivers
(right?). So, that's fine --if I have the drivers on a disk.
  But, suppose I download the drivers ahead of installing the OS --
how then do I get them on the machine?
