    Lost all my installation driver discs. Need to reformat PC, but afraid to do so without discs.

    Hi.

    Very very fresh person to the tech world.
    My PC has suddenly become extremly sluggish (even though having decent speccs), and thus is in a need for a reformat.
    Sadly, Ive lost all my driver cds, and thus have been very hesitative on reinstalling Windows.

    Any good advice on what I should do? Where I can find the necessary drivers perhaps etc.

    Any advice would be lovely. Thanks!

    CPU:
    Intel Core i7 @ 3.20GHz
    Coffee Lake 14nm Technology
    RAM:
    16GB
    Motherboard:
    ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. TUF B360-PRO GAMING (LGA1151)
    GPU:
    4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 (MSI)
    Storage:
    931GB Seagate ST1000DM010-2EP102 (SATA )

      @Ynto,
      cover your butt and take a image snapshot of the system first.
      Macrium Reflect can help you here.
      you can find all your hardware drivers for your motherboard at the ASUS website.
      then go to the Nvidia site for the latest graphics driver.
      every driver you want can be found from the manufactures website, either their Support or Download pages.
