Of course one of the most important things to understand as a newbie in the crypto space is how to secure your digital assets. Therefore I decided to give air gapping a try In other to understand air gapping I tried air gapping an old windows PC today since I didn't know a lot of technical stuff about the internal components of the computer I decided to uninstall all network drivers on the computer I tried doing this from my windows control panel.
Will this still count as an air gapped device or do I still have to remove the hard ware networking components from the PC board?
And will it be possible for an hacker to install those drivers remotely?

I think that the main vulnerable node is not PC, doesn't matter if its air gapped or not. The seed phrase is the main thing which needs to be secure. Without it there are no possibilities to look into the wallet, regardless of the presence of other software tools... So, I think, its not necessary to protect acounts via air gapping, since the seed phrase is anyway a deal.

Completely wrong statement.

Compromised PC is the threat to the digital assets it holds no matter how secure is the seed phrase.

OP's decision to move to air-gapped device is wise and he can't go wrong with it. The only thing he must consider is to follow ETFbitcoin's advice and install on his old PC the fresh OS which was never connected to Internet.
