Hey everyone! I just built a new PC, but I'm stuck because I don't have internet access yet. My motherboard doesn't have Bluetooth or Wi-Fi; I'm planning to connect via Ethernet but can't until Thursday. On my old PC, I used USB tethering to get online, as I had previously downloaded iTunes when it came with the necessary drivers for that. Now, I'm wondering if I can move those drivers over from my old PC to my new one using a USB drive. Is that possible?

Absolutely! Grab the driver installation files on your old PC, put them on a thumb drive, and then just install them on your new one. You'll be all set without internet!
Yep, you can definitely move driver files over with a USB drive! Just download the iTunes installer or the drivers you need on your old PC and save them to a USB. Then plug that into your new PC and install from there. No internet needed for the installation!
For sure! Just download the required drivers on your working PC, save them to a USB drive, and transfer that to your new PC. That’s how many of us used to do it back in the day when broadband wasn’t as common!
But how do I know which .exe file has the Apple Mobile Device Ethernet driver I need?
Any ideas what those driver files are called?
