Not really some might work but you will probably have to download them from motherboard makers website, or try a windows update if you connect to internet you should be able to update drivers that way, what drivers need loading operating system will carry lots of drivers for stuff like hard drives to get you up and running.

Depends what you need, try network driver and then go to device manager and install any that are missing.
