So when I install the Windows, I need to install all the drivers that are respective to my laptop.
Why don't I do the same with Ubuntu installation?
Does the installation somehow detects my hardware and install proper drivers on its own?
Thanks

For the most part, you don't need to install additional drivers. Almost all available drivers are included.
Ubuntu comes with many drivers out-of-the-box. You may need to install drivers only if some of your hardware is not working properly or not being detected. Some drivers for graphic cards and wireless adapters can be downloaded.
The easy way to find out if any drivers are needed is to choose to Try Ubuntu from the installation screen first to see if you need any drivers and to see if Ubuntu is working with your hardware.
