I installed windows 7 on a new hdd but now I can't load drivers

[09eragera09]

I recently installed windows on a new hdd since the old one died. The installation went fine, I got to the desktop. I tried connecting my USB to install drivers, but since it doesn't have any drivers, the laptop can't recognize anything. It's a slim model without a DVD-RW so I can't put the drivers on a disk and install them

How am I supposed to install the drivers?

if you have another computer, use it to download the drivers to the USB drive and transfer them to the laptop.

Otherwise I have used my smart phone to download the drivers and connected the phone via USB cable to the computer.

the main driver you need it the chipset and LAN drivers so you can connect to the router via network cable and then download the other drivers.

I have all the drivers I need in my USB Drives, It's just that it doesn't seem to recognize them (since it doesn't have its drivers, I think?). I tried to with 2 different USB drives with both the ports on my laptop, but it just doesn't work.

Never mind, Just asked reddit and installed them through Linux mint.
