To find and install suitable drivers, you need to know what kind of hardware is installed in this computer. To determine the models of devices and their characteristics, special utilities are usually used.
Necessary
- - Everest;
- - Sam Drivers.
Instructions
Step 1
Download and install the Everest software. You can also use the updated version of this utility - AIDA. During the first launch of the program, a scan of the connected devices will be performed. This procedure usually takes 3-4 minutes.
Step 2
Find the column "Menu" on the left pane of the working window. Expand the "Computer" item and select the "Summary Information" sub-item. Now use the data provided in the right window of the program to find out the models of the required devices.
Step 3
Please be aware that product specifications may be slightly distorted. Model names are usually displayed correctly.
Step 4
The main disadvantage of such utilities is that they cannot always correctly determine the device model before installing the drivers. In such cases, use programs designed to automatically install work files.
Step 5
Download the Sam Drivers installation files. Install the components of this utility. Run dia-drv.exe. Wait a while while the program detects connected devices.
Step 6
After opening the main menu of the Sam Drivers program, select the checkboxes for the devices for which you need to update the drivers. If you intend to install several sets of files for a specific device, select all offered drivers.
Step 7
Click the "Install" button and select "Silent installation of selected" from the drop-down menu. Confirm the start of the driver installation process. Restart your computer after the program has finished running.
Step 8
Run the Everest program again and find out the models of the required devices. If none of the described methods helped you in identifying the equipment, use the technical documentation for your computer or laptop.
