Keeping your hardware drivers up-to-date is essential for stable and flawless computer performance. Outdated drivers can cause various conflicts and result in severe performance degradation. Luckily, it's very easy to update your drivers.
- Open the Device Manager. To do this, press the Windows + Pause/break key to open System Properties and click on the Device Manager link
- Check your devices for driver conflict signs (if any) and check the driver versions by right-clicking
- on the device and going to Properties
- Go to the manufacturers' website and download the latest drivers for your devices
- In the Device Manager, right-click on the device you want to update and click Update Driver
- Software
- Specify that you will install the update from your hard drive (or search automatically)
- Browse to the driver update file (.inf file) and click on Open
- When finished, reboot your computer.
And last but not least, make sure that your software is always
up-to-date. A lot of programs check for updates automatically, but
you can always do it manually. Usually the Check for Updates feature
is located in the program Help menu.
Alternate method using software:
Driver Booster is an easy to use application which searches
for missing drivers on your computer and downloads them for you.
