I haven't done an OS upgrade in a long time.  I do fresh installs, and
you get the bundled drivers -- but you need to be quick to disable the
hardware updates, or do the install while offline.  If instead of OS
upgrade you mean the service packs which Microsoft renamed Feature
Updates, I don't recall my hardware drivers getting changed.  They have
made changes in Feature Updates that has rendered some hardware useless
until I fixed it, but don't remember that I had to reinstall the
drivers, just tweak back something they changed, like the default audio
device got changed, I go no sound from my external speakers, and had to
go in audio devices to re-select the correct one.

For my Realtek chip, devmgmt.msc shows I'm still using a driver released
back in 2019 (which was probably when I decided to update it).  The AMD
audio driver is dated back to 4/1/2020 which was probably when I updated
to the latest Catalyst package back then for the AMD video card (note:
component versions do not need to match the package version).  The AMD
Radeon package was installed - by me - back in Nov 20.  Despite there is
a new version available, I'm still back on the prior version.  The HID
driver for the USB mouse is dated back to 2006, so that one hasn't
changed since before Windows 10 even became a wet dream.
