This is something I have managed to do (successfully) for soon time now. Not sure if this is a proper procedure, as it might backfire on others. After replacing the SD, I run WAU to update the missing drivers, followed by SFC and a reboot, Mindblower!

Hi MB!
I would recommend not using WAU for driver updates.
These driver updates, provided by Microsoft, are mostly outdated. This is worrisome for security reasons, not to mention that you might be missing out on new features.
You should be getting your drivers from the manufacturers' websites.

Richard I agree, but how does one know what drivers require updating, Mindblower!

Hi MB!
Go to your motherboard's manufacturer's website and check the dates for the listed drivers.
Download and install the ones you need.
On your first visit, you will probably need all of them.
You can use CPU-Z to check the Chipset date of your motherboard.
If your sound driver is RealTek, go to RealTek and get the latest drivers.
If your mouse is an LG, go to LG and download the latest driver for your model. And so on...
You can also use Device Manager to check current driver versions.
I keep the newest version of my downloaded drivers in a separate folder on a separate drive. That way, I can see the dates at a glance and compare them to the newest ones available.
Hope this helps,
Richard
