How to Fix Missing Media Driver for Your Computer [100% Working Method]

It’s Saturday night. You’re off work and finally ready to upgrade your PC’s operating system. The installation process is the same for all Microsoft Windows operating systems: download the ISO file, burn it to a disc or create a bootable USB drive, and run the installation.

However, when installing Windows, you get an error message that says, "A media driver that your computer requires is missing. This may be a DVD, USB, or hard drive driver. If you have a CD, DVD, or USB flash drive with the driver on it, please insert it now."

These errors most commonly occur on Windows 10 v1809 (all editions), Windows Server 2019 (all editions), Windows 7 and 8, Windows Server 2012 Standard, and Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard. Regardless of the version, you can use similar troubleshooting methods to resolve the issue.
