I recently changed to a new laptop and still have access to the old files. Does anybody know the location of the file that stores the configured drivers so I can copy/paste it into the same location on my new machine? Win10.

Go to your old machine and run the RSLinx Backup and Restore tool. It will allow you to Backup your current drivers to a file that you can copy to your new laptop. Then run the same utility on the new machine to Restore the drivers.

I just edited my original post. I have access to the files, but cannot get Windows to boot, so using the utility isn't an option.

From what I see, it is stored in the Windows registry:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Rockwell Software\RSLinx\Drivers

I don't see them stored as files. Thus the reason for the tool. But maybe someone else has an idea.
