Here is a list of PC drivers you need to install.
I have tried installing different programs and drivers for my computer, so I'm considering buying a single package of all the drivers at once. Should anyone know where I can find a good driver pack instead of downloading them individually? Do you have any tips?
I want to tell you something important: when you use any software or drivers, pay very close attention to where the links come from. You should get these directly from the official websites of the maker and make sure you download them yourself instead of trusting third-party packs. Be extra careful about what you call "software," too. Always check that you are getting real apps only; never use those illegal copies or pirated ones.
I think you should download those files yourself and put them in a safe place, like your flash drive, just in case you need to reinstall the computer again. I don't know how driver pack software works, so I won't recommend using it. These programs are often full of extra stuff called bloatware. The best thing to do is download them on your own.
I will add a suggestion to watch closely at which websites get the software and drivers so they are safe. You should only get these things from the official maker's pages or download them yourself by hand. Just like with "software," you need to be careful too. Make sure you're getting real apps, not fake ones made for selling piracy.
there is a Russian software app with that name, that is likely the same in idea as driver booster and Driver easy, programs that say they make it easier but often install the wrong drivers. They can make it worse than before. there is also driverpacks.net which, in their own words: You likely don't need either, you should get them from motherboard makers website unless Motherbaord is old, then windows probably has drivers already for most of the hardware.
Lots of companies seem to be jumping on the Driver update software bandwagon. Almost all of them used to sell programs that just "speeded up your PC," but now they are almost useless. So, it's a good idea to join the "we make finding drivers easy" brigade and shut them down. You don't actually need any of these tools. They're just trying to stay alive in the cracks where Windows used to remove most of their software before. As Windows gets better at cleaning itself up, the things that were useful before are dying out too quickly. Drivers are a special case: they can survive unless hardware makers give Microsoft a copy of every new driver. If they did that, there would be no need for the update catalog on Windows Update to list all those programs, and everything would be much less useful. Really. It's more like taking a risk than gaining anything. I tried using one of these tools twice before, and each time it loaded the wrong drivers, which created more problems than it was worth. You create your own trouble for yourself. It is easier to check what you have right now by downloading and running Driverview: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/driverview.html. All it does is look at the installed drivers; it won't install any of them (this is intentional, as third-party driver updaters often get things wrong). When you run the program, go into the View tab and set it to hide all Microsoft drivers. That will make the list shorter. Then, go to your hardware maker's website and download the newest drivers manually. It might take a little searching and checking whether the driver number is actually the latest one. But if you do this yourself instead of letting software install blindly, there is less chance of installing wrong software, and you won't know anything you don't already understand about it.
