Last Updated a year ago

Outdated or missing drivers can cause poor audio, display glitches, network dropouts, or overall system instability. Here’s how to update your Windows drivers manually—without relying on third-party tools.

When Should You Update Drivers?

  • After formatting your PC or installing a new OS
  • When you face hardware issues (e.g., no sound, no internet)
  • To improve system performance or compatibility

Tools Required:

  • Internet connection
  • Admin access to the system
  • Optional: Manufacturer’s driver website (Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc.)

Method 1: Update Drivers Using Device Manager

  1. Open Device Manager
    • Press Windows + X > Select Device Manager
  2. Locate the Device to Update
    • For audio issues: Expand Sound, video and game controllers
    • For display issues: Expand Display adapters
    • For Wi-Fi/LAN: Expand Network adapters
  3. Right-click and Select Update Driver
    • Choose Search automatically for drivers
    • Windows will find and install the best available version
    • Restart your PC if prompted

Method 2: Download Drivers from Manufacturer Website

  1. Identify your model (e.g., HP ProBook 440 G7, Dell Latitude 3420)
  2. Visit your brand’s official support page:
    • HP: support.hp.com
    • Dell: support.dell.com
    • Lenovo: pcsupport.lenovo.com
  3. Search your model and go to the Drivers & Downloads section
  4. Download the latest drivers for:
    • Audio
    • Graphics
    • Chipset
    • LAN/Wi-Fi
  5. Install them one by one and restart your system
