Without the INF file, Windows would receive a driver binary and have no idea where to put it or which device it belongs to. To appreciate INF files, we need to travel back to the early 1990s. Before Windows 95, installing hardware was a nightmare of jumpers, IRQ conflicts, and manual configuration. 1.0.0.0 [Manufacturer] %MyCompany% = MyDeviceList
