And if you Click 
, it will get all the non-Microsoft drivers.
Since, if you reinstall you OS, all the drivers about windows Microsoft already offers, so only backup the non-Microsoft drivers is enough.
Step3: Start Backup.
After Fast Collect, select a certain device whose driver you want to backup, then click 
, select a destination folder, then click 'Start' button.
You could hold 'Alt' key, click your mouse, you may select more than one driver at a time.

If you want to backup the selected driver to an EXE Installer, Choose from the menu 'Backup'->'Backup selected to EXE installer' or 'Backup all drivers to one EXE installer'.
The trial version is limited to 15 days, but that should be enough time for intermediate to advanced users to see if this easy-to-use driver-management utility suits their needs.
