Workshop: Protect PC drivers and locate updates

Installing hardware drivers can be irksome but we’ll explain how to simplify the process

Windows relies on special software called drivers to communicate with each and every hardware device in or attached to your computer.

Many are installed alongside Windows but others must be installed separately, either from the CD that came with the hardware or by downloading the driver from the manufacturer’s website. It’s also possible to update drivers to fix bugs, improve performance and add new features, but keeping track of the latest updates can be time consuming.

Drivermax is a free tool that can quickly scan an entire PC to find out which drivers need updating. In addition, it can be used to back up and restore entire driver sets, enabling you to quickly get a PC up and running again after even the most severe problems.
