I can't find the laptop on the main company website that is why I want to extract the drivers from the machine if possible. It is a Lenovo 15.6" IdeaPad 5 Laptop hopefully that is a decent one. If this helps here: MFR #82SF000PUS

Maybe my search skills suck. I found a little about it but not much.
 
I'll typically use clonezilla to clone the entire factory drive. Then you could literally extract that to a thumb drive and point windows to it when it needs drivers.
 
Just slap Windows on it, do all the updates then run Intel's Driver support tool and you should be good to go. If it has a GPU then the appropriate drivers from Nvidia or AMD. I rarely go to the manufacturer site for drivers nowadays. You get there and find the drivers are all 2-4 years out of date anyway.

I'll only look for BIOS or obscure stuff if there are question marks in Device Manager.
