Comment on Liking an OS isn't a personality trait ❌
example@reddthat.com 3 months agoeven on Windows 10/11, I’m still frequently hearing about issues at work where the necessary ssd drivers are only included in the default windows installer (not the recovery shipped with the device) like half a year later. at least with Dell this seems to be a common theme.

That would be an OEM issue, not Microsoft. They’re supposed to modify the recovery image with whatever it needs, Windows doesn’t just do it automatically.

The OEM version is working fine, as the drivers are embedded there. My point was that without this recovery partition you tend to run into issues on newer devices, as the MS bundled drivers get updated only infrequently.

Yeah that checks out. I constantly have to chase down drivers when doing Windows installs. The way I read your upper comment was the issue being with the recovery partition.
