If you use all the main packs then there is 99.99 percent chance your hardware will be supported.
Only the drivers that your machine needs will remain on your machine the rest will be removed during / after the install. It really is that easy.

However the packs are huge and if you only ever intend to use your install disc on that single laptop you could save hundreds of MB on your install disc by adding only the drivers you specificaly need to your disc.
This is a little harder to do because you must first obtain all the drivers you need yourself and then you must use something to slipstream them. nLite works well for this task it is also very useful to automate and even create and ISO and even burn your installation disc.

DriverPacks primarily targets professional users who encounter "black boxes" where the hardware contained is unknown. Since our packs have been in development for over five years we don't have reports of missing drivers very often. When we get one we add it . They are as complete as is humanly possable.
You are not our target audience but you will find that DriverPacks will solve all your driver problems .
Just be aware that you will probably need to put the install on a DVD.
