Inf Driver Install [hot]

The INF driver install process is the bridge between software abstraction and hardware functionality.

Understanding this process is critical for system administrators managing deployment images and developers debugging hardware connectivity issues.

This is the simplest way to register a driver with the system, though it doesn't always "trigger" the hardware update immediately. inf driver install
