Can EnumDisplayDevices detect a device if no drivers are installed?

I need to deploy a hard disk image for a client, which on the first boot detects the type of video card and installs the appropriate drivers. So, what does this mean in terms of code, I need to detect the deviceid of a graphics card in C ++ without using specific libraries such as NvAPI or AMD SDK.

I know that EnumDisplayDevices can retrieve devices, so I need to know if this is possible with EnumDisplayDevices or if I need to install GPU drivers before EnumDisplayDevices can detect it. How the function actually goes about getting this information is not mentioned in the MSDN article .

Thank,

Bill.

For my purposes, I needed to know the name and model of the video card, and it turns out that EnumDisplayDevices cannot get this information until the drivers are installed.
