Practice shows that the use of new driver versions can improve the performance of certain devices. Usually, installing updated drivers will stabilize the hardware and fix bugs found in the previous version.
Necessary
- - Sam Drivers;
- - access to the Internet.
Instructions
Step 1
Experts recommend manually installing drivers for each specific device. This procedure is difficult to follow. Moreover, it takes a relatively long time. Make a list of devices for which you need to update the software.
Step 2
Visit the websites of the companies that have developed the equipment on your list. Most large firms offer to download drivers directly from their sites. Take this opportunity.
Step 3
If you downloaded the installer, just run this application. Follow the step-by-step menu to select the driver installation mode. Do not install additional utilities unless necessary.
Step 4
After downloading the archive containing the driver files, create a new folder. Extract the files from the archive into it. Go to the Device Manager menu.
Step 5
Right-click on the name of the hardware with outdated drivers. Select Properties. Open the Driver tab and click the Update button.
Step 6
Switch to manual mode of installing files. Open the Explorer menu by clicking the Browse button. Navigate to the directory where you extracted the downloaded files. Click the Ok button. Use the described algorithm to install drivers for other devices.
Step 7
If you are updating your drivers immediately after installing a new copy of the operating system, it makes sense to use an additional application. Download Sam Drivers and run it.
Step 8
After a while, the application will provide you with a list of drivers that can be installed for specific devices. Select the required kits by ticking the boxes and click the "Install" button.
Step 9
Switch to automatic file update mode. Reboot your computer after installing all selected driver kits.
