Regardless if you have the software or not, a USB keyboard should accept input with or without drivers from windows. Drivers are only for built in features on the keyboard like extra buttons for peripheral functions standard keyboards don't have. Same thing for mice.
In your bios (at least in the past 8 years or so) there is native USB support from boot for USB input devices.
I'm surprised you've been using a PS/2 device of any kind all this time.
