Could you build this?

Partial The client UI and system hardware querying can be vibe-coded, but matching and safely updating Windows hardware drivers requires a massive curated database of hardware IDs, INF files, and driver binaries.

What it would actually take: The frontend can be built in C#/.NET or C++ utilizing Windows SetupAPI and WMI to enumerate PCI/USB device hardware IDs. The hard requirement is a cloud infrastructure hosting millions of validated OEM driver packages with an index mapping PNP IDs to tested driver versions, which vibe coding cannot generate without substantial proprietary driver indexing infrastructure.
