Could you build this?
No Software that scans PC hardware and updates low-level device drivers requires kernel-level Windows driver development, WHQL compliance, and an extensive maintained catalog of device firmware.
What it would actually take: Requires C++/C Windows system programming interacting with the Windows SetupAPI, DevNode hierarchy, and PNP (Plug and Play) managers. The company must maintain a massive, constantly updated, verified repository of signed OEM hardware drivers, along with custom patch and installation engines capable of running with elevated administrative privileges safely.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a workflow automation tool for Real estate yet.
