Hello everyone, many users independently rearrange the Windows system, some know how, some learn, everything is different for everyone. Where can I get drivers and what should I install?

Installing and updating drivers is a very important part in the stability of your system, screenshot from the site x86bit.com Installing and updating drivers is a very important part in the stability of your system, screenshot from the site x86bit.com

If we take Windows 10, then most of the drivers are installed automatically with the system installation, but this is not enough. The best option is to manually install the latest drivers from the manufacturers’ official websites. We look at your components, go to the official website, search for and download what is available and suitable. But this option has disadvantages: it is a long task and you need to understand all this, which drivers need to be installed.

For ordinary users, there are special utilities that automatically scan your system, determine the required list of drivers, and offer to download and install them. It is very simple and accessible to the average user. But there are disadvantages: not all drivers can be installed automatically, or they will install with errors; Drivers offer installation of various applications, which often only clog up the system; You can also download viruses in a package with drivers and programs. Therefore, if you choose automatic installation, then at least make sure of your choice. You can install online or download the package in advance. The second option has disadvantages; drivers can quickly become outdated with the release of new versions. Below is a list of what I use.

There are situations that after reinstalling the system, there is no driver for the network card. Accordingly, you cannot download drivers. There are several options for getting out of this situation. Download a program in advance, for example 3DP Net, onto a USB flash drive. It contains a set of necessary drivers and the Internet will work. Or download a driver or a similar utility using a mobile phone and transfer it to your computer.

Also, regarding graphics drivers for your video card, I advise you to download the official utility from the manufacturer’s website. For NVIDIA – Experience, for Radeon AMD Radeon Software Adrenaline Edition. The most current drivers will be installed.

To automatically search and install drivers, many utilities are quite good. There are specific utilities from manufacturers for their specific products. But I’ll highlight three of the universal ones, which I use myself when necessary:

• DriverPack Solution is the most popular free driver search and installation utility. Many people don’t like it because it forces them to install additional applications. This problem can be solved; before installation, go to expert mode and uncheck the applications that you do not want to install. If this is not done, then a lot of necessary and unnecessary things will be installed. I’ve heard a lot that some kind of malware can get in during the installation process, I personally haven’t noticed this.

• Driver Booster is a proven utility, I use it very often. Everything is simple and clear, there are very few additional applications imposed, you can safely refuse them before downloading and installing drivers. Free version available.

• Snappy Driver Installer is a free and portable driver installer. I always keep an image of this utility with drivers on a flash drive. A very fast utility, it works well, the only drawback is that there are times when some of the drivers are missing from the package, and you have to download something additional. But as a duty utility, it is very helpful. It does not force you to install additional applications.
