This is true today. Had you tried that back in 2005, you'd very likely be fiddling with drivers. I specifically remember making a disk that contained all the drivers I'd need if I had to reinstall for any reason. Without it and without a network, you'd have to have another computer available to grab drivers from the internet.

    You had to do this with windows in 2005 too... In fact I've had to use a different computer to download drivers as recently as 2017 for a Windows 10 computer...
