Updating Drivers/other software with no internet.

Post by bigchrisscoota » Fri Nov 25, 2011 7:08 pm

So, basically i've been using a laptop for production for a while now. But i'm upgrading to a desktop pc and too make it as cheap as possible I am not going to have anything built into it that allows internet access. (My laptop will still have access). So what i have to do is uninstall all my programs off of my laptop, install them onto my new desktop pc (Programs include: Ableton Live, Propellarhead Reason, a few vst plugins(e.g Massive). My question is: What is the most efficient/effective way of installing all these programs onto my new pc and what is the most efficient/effective way of updating my programs (and also my auido 8 dj soundcard driver). I mean, i'm guessing because I won't have internet access it won't pick up what driver the sound interface needs, so the way i'm thinking of doing this is whenever I need and update or whenever I need to install a new driver I just go to lets say the native instruments website and download the zip file for the update and move the file to the new pc and, well, download it, lol. Anyway, I know i'm rambling but I wanted to know if there is a more efficient way of doing this or is that pretty much the only way.

Cheers! (and thanks for putting up with my rambling lol)

I dont think there is a motherboard out there that doesnt have a modem and an ethernet conection.

That being said for authorizing many programs you will need the computer conected to the internet.
