After installing the operating system, you need to install a large amount of software, for example, drivers for various devices, codecs, application utilities, etc. Most of the above can be found on the official websites on the Internet.
Necessary
A computer with an established Internet connection
Instructions
Step 1
If you intend to reinstall the operating system, it is recommended that you prepare drivers for all devices in advance. This can be done using the Driver Genius program. It allows you not only to search for drivers on the Internet, but also to create their backups in the current system.
Step 2
In the absence of the original driver disk, first of all, it is necessary to calculate the name of the manufacturer and the model of the video card. The easiest way is to find and view the computer configuration printout that you received upon purchase. You can also find boxes from the computer, one of which will indicate the model of the card.
Step 3
If you want to find out your graphics card model programmatically, run the DirectX Diagnostic Tool applet. To do this, open the Start menu and select Run. In the empty field, enter dxdiag (shorthand for the applet) and press Enter or OK.
Step 4
In the window that opens, go to the "Display" tab. The "Device" block will display detailed information about the installed board, and the "Drivers" block - the version of the installed software. If the line "Manufacturer" is "N / A", the device is not detected or not detected (integrated video card). You can also use Everest Ultimate Edition or SiSoftware Sandra to determine the card model.
Step 5
Then you need to go to the developer's site: for Nvidia https://www.nvidia.ru/Download/index.aspx?lang=ru, and for ATI https://www.amd.com/ru/Pages/AMDHomePage.aspx … Select your device model, operating system version and click the Download button. After downloading the video driver, install it by double-clicking on the executable file.
