Could you build this?

No A driver booster tool requires low-level Windows kernel interaction, device hardware enumeration, and an enormous proprietary database of certified device drivers.

What it would actually take: The architecture requires a native C++/Win32 client interfacing with Windows SetupAPI and PNP (Plug and Play) subsystem to scan hardware IDs and INF files, backed by a massive server database of verified, digitally signed driver binaries. The hardest requirement is acquiring, testing, indexing, and hosting millions of signed hardware driver packages without causing Blue Screens of Death (BSODs). It requires deep Windows internals expertise and hardware lab infrastructure.
