Which folder is the driver. How to find and install the most recent driver for your computer. Where to download drivers when manually downloading

If you assembled your computer on your own, buying components for it separately, then in this case all the drivers for the computer can no longer be found on one single manufacturer's website, as it would be easy to do when buying a ready-made computer (this is described in the article “How to find driver if you bought a laptop or a ready-made stationary computer! "). After all, you were buying a non-finished computer that would belong to some manufacturer, would have its own model and drivers for which you could download everything at once from one site. Once the computer is assembled from spare parts you independently selected, it means that it will no longer correspond to any model and belong to some manufacturer, because this is already your creation :) Therefore, you will have to look for drivers separately for all devices from which the computer was assembled. This also includes the case when, after purchasing a ready-made (already assembled) computer, after some time you decided to replace some hardware.

Now I will show you how to find everything required drivers for a self-configured computer manually, via the Internet.

What drivers are described in the article:

So, you yourself have selected all the components, assembled the computer, installed Windows and you see that the drivers are not installed for all devices, and may not even be installed for almost any. You can find out if all the drivers are installed from the standard "Device Manager" utility. I described how to do this in a separate article.

And to install drivers in this case, there are several options.

Note!
If you have not automatically installed even the drivers for network cards, which does not give you the opportunity to go online from this computer, then all the steps considered below will have to be done from some other computer with Internet access. And after you download everything the drivers, you will need to transfer them to required computer, for example, through a USB flash drive or disk.

Option number 1. Search for drivers manually by device code via devid.drp.su

I consider this option to be the most optimal. The method is to determine the device code and search for drivers on the Internet using this code on various sites.

Suppose that in the device manager we see something like this:

Those. drivers for multiple devices are not installed on the computer. However, it is problematic to determine through the device manager for which devices there are no drivers, because the names are somehow blurry. One can only roughly understand. For example, "Ethernet controller" is most likely a network card for connecting wired internet... A "network controller" is probably a Wi-Fi adapter; network card for accessing the internet via Wi-Fi.

But each device has its own unique number, which the device manager can just show us. And having learned the number, we can find the driver for the device via the Internet.

Let's look at a couple of examples of how to find drivers manually by device code:

First, I'll find a driver for an obscure Simple Communications PCI Controller.

    Determine the device code for which we want to find the driver.

    To determine the device code, click on it in the device manager right click mouse and from the menu that appears, select "Properties":

    In the window that opens, select the "Details" tab, and then below, under the "Properties" label, select "Equipment ID":

    First of all, we try to search by code from the lowest (4th) line. Right-click on the 4th line with the code below and select "Copy".

    Trying to find the driver by the code on the devid.drp.su website.

    After you have copied the code, open the site:

    Devid.drp.su

    Let's try to find a driver on it. This site belongs to the program DriverPack Solution, which collects almost everything possible drivers... Here, with a high degree of probability, you can find a driver for any device.

    Having opened the site, the first thing you need to do is to paste the device code copied in the previous step into the topmost long line and delete everything in this code that goes from the "&" symbol to the end.

    For example, you copied the code:
    PCI \ VEN_8086 & DEV_0166 & CC_0300

    This means that after removing the characters from the "&" you should have the following code:
    PCI \ VEN_8086 & DEV_0166

    If you do not know what system you have, then open Windows search and enter there "System Information", then select the appeared program from the list:

    In the program that opens, in the window on the left, select "System Information" and on the right in the "OS Name" line the version of your Windows will be displayed (in my example, in the image below, "Windows 10"), and in the "Type" line - bit depth: x64 or x86:

    Based on this data, we indicate the type and bitness of the system on the devid.drp.su website.

    After the device code is indicated and the Windows version is selected, click the "Search Drivers" button.

    As a result, the page will display a list of drivers matching the hardware code you specified and for your version of Windows. Using the "Download" button, load one of the drivers onto your computer.

    Note!
    If several identical drivers are displayed (as in the image above), then download the driver with the most recent release date in the "Driver version" column.

    By clicking on the "Download" button, the driver will be loaded onto your computer and all that remains is to install it. There is nothing complicated at all in installing drivers, and I touched on this point in a separate article,.

    Note!

    It happens that different drivers will be displayed in the list of drivers, for example:

    This means that the hardware code can be similar for several devices. In this case, you can simply download and try to install all the proposed options until the correct driver is installed.

As you can see, the driver was not difficult to find. Now I will consider another example to make it clearer :) I will find, for example, a driver for a device that is designated as an "Ethernet controller" in the device manager.

I click on the device with the right mouse button, open the properties:

In the window, select the "Information" tab, select the item "Equipment ID" from the list and copy the code from the 4th line:

I open the devid.drp.su site, indicate the copied number there, delete everything in it, starting from the "&" symbol. Then I choose Windows version and doing a search:

For my device and the version of Windows I selected, only one driver version was displayed that I can download and install:

That's all!

However, it still happens occasionally that the devid.drp.su website does not find drivers for the hardware code you specified. In this case, there is also Alternative option, which we will consider below.

Alternative search for drivers by device code

If there were no drivers on the well-known devid.drp.su site for the device you need, then you can use this simple method:

    Determine the device code... In the same way, copy the equipment code (4th) line:

    We are looking for a driver on various sites.

    Now go to the Google.com website and paste the copied code directly into the search box, then remove the "&" symbol from the code and everything that follows it, for example:

    PCI \ VEN_8086 & DEV_1C3A & SS_0780= PCI \ VEN_8086 & DEV_1C3A

    We press the search button and a list of sites that match our request is displayed in front of us:

    Now you need to open sites in turn, starting from the very first (top) and see if it is possible to download drivers on the site.

    It should be noted right away that you will not find the driver you need on all sites, since some of them will not have a driver for your version of Windows, and some of them will have any crap instead of drivers.

    In the example image above, I circled those sites on which drivers can be found most often and without any problems download. These sites are:

    If you dig deeper in your search, you can find other sites where you can download the driver you need. But do not look for drivers on the forums, since this is the longest way. You will have to read all the messages in a row to understand where the link to the driver you need is given.

    Now let's look at a couple of examples of downloading drivers from different sites.

    An example of downloading a driver from driver.ru:

    When you get to the site from the search results, the page will already display drivers, most of which are compatible with your device.

    Here you can simply download in turn all the drivers that the site has displayed and try to install until the required driver is installed. All incompatible drivers will either not be installed, or simply will not work, so you can not be afraid to install something wrong.

    Remember to pay attention to the Windows version the driver is for.

    Keep in mind!
    Drivers for Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 are very often compatible and if, for example, you could not find drivers specifically for Windows 8.1, then try installing drivers for Windows 8. Or if you could not find drivers for Windows 10, try installing from Windows 8.1 or Windows 8. It also happens that drivers for Windows 7 will be compatible with Windows 8, 8.1 and Windows 10. That is, you can try to install drivers from different systems.

    Let's look at an example of the download process from this site. Having found the driver you need, click on the download button below:

    In the next window, you need to confirm that you are not a robot by checking the box indicated (see image below). Then click the "Download" button below:

    And finally, on the next page, we will see a download link at the very top in the form of a file name with the extension:

    Click on it and download the file.

    An example of downloading a driver from members.driverguide.com:

    By going to the site from the search engine, the page will display a list of likely compatible drivers with your device:

    Clicking on the download button will open new page where a large amount of advertising catches the eye.

    Attention!
    Do not click anywhere if there are a lot of advertisements on the site, be careful, otherwise you can pick up viruses and other infections on your computer!

    In the next window, a window will appear in the center to confirm that you are a real person, and not a program :) You need to wait for the contents of the window to load and click the "Show" button:

    A new window will open, where again we are waiting for the content to load for a few seconds. A code will appear in the window next to the inscription: "Enter". This code needs to be rewritten exactly as it is in the line below ("Your Answer") and press "Return to Page":

    You will be taken back to the home page where the "Continue" button will now appear. Clicking it will start downloading the driver to your computer:

Like this alternative way you can try to manually find the driver by device code. Of course, for this option, I showed by examples downloading the driver from only 2 sites, and there are a huge number of them. But the principle of downloading is the same on all sites. The only difference is mostly the interface and sometimes the download order.

But I am more inclined that you can easily find drivers using the main method suggested in option # 1.

Option number 2. Search for drivers on the official websites of device manufacturers

If you did not manage to find drivers for your devices according to the 1st option, then you can do it in this way.

You will need to look at the manufacturer and model of each device in the computer through the documentation for them or special programs (for example, Aida64 or Sysinfo Detector), and then separately look for drivers for each device through the manufacturer's official website or (if there is no driver on the official website) on the Internet by device model.

Let's take this example. In the device manager, I can see that the driver is not installed in the system for the video card and for some other incomprehensible device:

How did you determine what was on the video card? But because if in the list of devices in the "Video adapters" section there is a device "Standard VGA graphics adapter"Means there is no driver for the video card, otherwise the device would have the name of your video card, for example" NVIDIA GeForce GTX980 ".

Let's look at the sequence of your actions:

    Find out the manufacturer and model of the device.

    Note!
    If you have an "Unknown device" in the device manager, then the driver for some device on the motherboard or a special program for the motherboard is probably not installed. Therefore, you must first install all the drivers for your motherboard and programs for it.

    If you assembled a computer from separate components, then you might have left documents for each purchased device, which indicates what we need - the manufacturer and model. If there is no documentation left, then one of the programs that determine the hardware of your computer will help you find out the model. I recommend Aida64 or Sysinfo Detector. The first is paid, but you can use it for free for 30 days. And the second has a completely free edition. If you think what to choose, then temporarily choose - Aida64, since the quality of this program will still be higher.

    How to install and use the Aida64 program is described in the article:

    How to install and use Sysinfo Detector is described in the article:

    If you define devices through the Aida64 program then you can determine what kind of devices without drivers by selecting the "Devices> Windows Devices" section on the left and then opening the "Unknown" category on the right. Information about the selected device will appear below:

    So, in my example, the unknown device has the name "Asus ATK-110 ACPI Utility".

    Above, I mentioned that the unknown device is most likely something on the motherboard, so we will immediately determine which motherboard in the device. To do this, open the "Motherboard" section and go to the same subsection. On the right in the window we will see the manufacturer and the model motherboard: Asus P5KPL-AM EPU.

    Now let's deal with the video card. The video card is usually detected correctly in Aida64 through Display> PCI / AGP Video. As you can see, the program detected the video card: "nVIDIA GeForce GT 430":

    If you are looking for devices through Sysinfo Detector then see devices with uninstalled drivers can be done in 2 ways. The first one is in the "Deviations" section:

    As you can see, the same device was detected as through the Aida64 program: ACPI / ATK0110

    And the second way - in the "PCI-devices" section, select the "Unknown devices" subsection. Here the program saw 3 "problematic" devices at once and one of them, just the motherboard: Asus P5KPL-AM EPU.

    It is better to look at the manufacturer and model of the video card in the "PCI-devices" section. Find the "Display controller" subsection in the list:

    The example shows that the manufacturer NVIDIA cards and the model is GeForce GT 430.

    So, we found out the necessary data and now we will look for the driver.

    We are looking for a driver on device manufacturer sites.

    We found out that the driver is missing, most likely for some device on the motherboard, or maybe some program specifically for the motherboard. The motherboard manufacturer is Asus, and the model in my example is P5KPL-AM EPU. Since the manufacturer is Asus, we will look for it on the official website of Asus.

    How to search for the official website of the device manufacturer and download drivers from it is described in detail. In short, you need to open a search engine google system, type the name of the manufacturer there and open the first site in the search results. Next, go to the "Service" or "Support" section and specify the device model, for example:

    In addition to the drivers, pay attention to the "Utilities" section (you can see it in the list in the image above), because sometimes "Unidentified device" is some kind of not installed special program for the motherboard. Better to install the entire motherboard kit provided on the website to check if that was the problem.

    This example demonstrates finding drivers for a motherboard. If you install all the drivers and utilities for it, then the "Unknown device" from the device manager should disappear.

    Now let's find the driver for the video card. Judging by the data taken from the programs Aida64 and Sysinfo Detector, the manufacturer of the video card is NVIDIA, and the model is GeForce GT 430. Since the manufacturer is NVIDIA, then we are looking for the official website of this company in the same way through Google:

    On the site we immediately see the section "Drivers" and in it the item "Download drivers". We open:

    A window will open where you need to specify the data about the video card. The product type in my example is “GeForce”, if the model is GeForce GT 430, then the product series is “GeForce 400 Series”. It is not difficult to navigate here. Next, in the list of "Product family" we select a specific model - "GeForce GT 430". And it remains to select only the version of Windows installed on your computer and the language of the driver. Then we press "Search":

    A page will open to download the required driver. Press the button "Download now":

    On the next page, we accept the terms of the agreement and click the "Accept and download" button:

In the same way, you can download a driver, in principle, for any device, knowing its manufacturer and model. You just need to find the official website of the manufacturer and indicate the model there.

As a last resort, if, for example, you cannot find drivers on the official site, you can search for them on other sites by specifying in google search an example of such a request: "driver for Asus P5KPL-AM EPU". Instead of Asus P5KPL-AM EPU, you, respectively, need to specify the manufacturer and model of your particular device, for which you are looking for drivers.

Well, in conclusion, I note that if you use Windows 8 and older, then most likely you will not have problems with the drivers. These systems install in most cases all drivers automatically immediately after Windows installations... I tried to reinstall Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 on several laptops and all drivers were automatically installed on each one, as a result of which there was no need to look for them myself.

This concludes the article. Now you can find the driver you want by device code or by its manufacturer and model. Let me remind you that you may need such driver search options if you yourself selected components for your computer or changed some parts in the finished computer you bought.

It is also possible to automatically install drivers on a computer using special programs. This possibility is described in a separate article:

All the best! See you in other articles :)

Many people associate the word "storage" exclusively with information, but experts and more advanced users know that Windows also stores drivers and actively uses them as needed.

Who are drivers and when might they be needed?

A driver is a so-called connecting bridge between the hardware and the system of the computing device. He always assists in indicating the OS, what is connected to the computer and how it works. Driver acts as a program with files that interact with devices. After Windows is installed on new computer, the operating system does not immediately know about external devices nothing and drivers are required for "acquaintance".

Usually, new versions of the OS immediately have "firewood" for working with the following programs:

  • bluetooth
  • sound
  • home network
  • video
  • additional devices

Video, like sound from standard settings, does not make it possible to enjoy all the advantages of connected devices without installing "firewood".

Where are any Drivers stored on a Windows 7 system?

In the seventh Windows versions the key drivers installed are located in a folder named "Drivers". It is located on the drive: C / windows / system32. Even if the folder is found, you will not need to copy it for further reinstallation. The best practice is to use Device Manager.

For example, you need to find out where is located sound driver... To do this, you need to expand the line for sound video and game devices and select the sound driver by clicking on properties. When the window opens, you should go to the tab with information, select the option called "device description". There will be information about the location of the required driver and other data.

You can also use the official website of your computer manufacturer... They have latest versions released "firewood" and numerous programs that provide the ability to make a quick update, or a copy in reserve. Experts do not recommend using this method for inexperienced users (in order to avoid possible mistakes systems).

How do I find drivers?




Drivers perform an essential function in a computer: they are necessary for the successful operation of various programs. Some devices may well immediately work normally when connected to a computer, and some may malfunction in the system or will constantly display a window with information about updating the driver. If this happens, you will have to perform this update. And often when buying a new computer or brand new video card, we are faced with the problem of finding and updating drivers. This article will show you how to find drivers using special program or by standard means dispatcher Windows devices.

Finding Drivers Using Everest

Let's first figure out which drivers we need to download and install: the Everest utility will help us with this.

This program is intended, among other things, in order to understand for which devices you need to install drivers.

  1. Launch Everst, select "Devices" and then "Windows Devices".
  2. On the right side of the menu is a list of all available drivers. A yellow question mark indicates devices that require driver installation.
  3. Expanding the tab, you will see a list of devices for which your operating system did not find drivers on its own.
  4. In order to identify a device, its manufacturer and model, you just need to click on its name with the left mouse button.

By the line Hardware ID (VEN and DEN), you can understand what kind of device it is, as well as find out its manufacturer and model. All computer devices have four-digit numbers.

The first (it is designated as VEN or VID) is the code of the manufacturer itself. The second (DEV or PID) is the device model. Having written out these values, you can independently search for information on the Internet. The peculiarity of the Everest program is that it automatically identifies the manufacturer and model by the code. The data can be seen in the line "PCI device".

Using the resource, you can easily find the driver you need. To do this, you just need to enter the code into the search menu. In this way, you can calculate all devices that need driver updates or installation. Installation is best done in the following sequence: the driver for the video card, then for sound card, for wifi adapter,
for a web camera, and then there is a TV tuner, scanner, printer, etc. You can learn more about finding the most necessary driver - a video driver - in our article.

Search for drivers using standard Windows tools

Let's take a look at another easy way to find drivers using Windows Device Manager. To open Device Manager, on the desktop, select the shortcut "My Computer" and right-click on it, and then select "Properties." After these manipulations, the "System" window will open, select the "Device Manager" item in the left menu. When you select this item in a new window, you will see all installed on this computer devices. Particular attention should be paid to the line "Sound, video and game devices", as well as " Network adapters". These points are considered the most problematic among users.

So, by right-clicking on the device we need and selecting "Properties",
we will open a window in which you need to select the "Details" tab. Further, the sequence of actions is as follows: "Path to the device instance" - "Value" - and you will see the required code. Copy this code - it is a driver cipher by which you can find out the manufacturer and model of the device. And how to find a driver using this code, we wrote above in this article. After downloading the required archive with the driver, install it by running the executable file.exe without changing the installation path. Next, you need to restart your computer, and you can admire the result of your actions.

Some notes on reinstalling drivers

In order to reinstall the driver for more stable system operation, you must first uninstall old version... To do this, go to the "Device Manager" menu, select desired device, click "Properties" - "Driver" and remove it. After that, install the new driver from the previously downloaded distribution kit (installation package).

Further, we note that the search for a driver by code may not always end successfully, because old versions of drivers are often stored on the same site. What to do? Do not be upset, because each manufacturer provides for its product support, which also includes creating and updating device drivers.

Driver updates contain various additional functions that were not foreseen in previous versions... This, in turn, will be necessary for you to work comfortably at the computer, especially if you use new versions of various programs - for example, work with graphic applications or play new computer games.

By going to the websites of device manufacturers (www.radeon.ru, www.amd.ru, www.nvidia.ru), you can independently find required driver and download it. Driver installation instructions can also be found on the manufacturer's website. There are a lot of devices and models now, and each manufacturer has its own website. All that is required of you is to know the brand of the device and go to the official website of the manufacturer. And how to find out the type and model of the device, we have already found out.

We hope that you liked our article, and, perhaps, you will be interested in another similar material -. Good luck with your further development of the computer!

Good afternoon.

Drivers are a nightmare for a novice user, especially when you need to find and install them. I'm not even talking about the fact that in most cases, many do not even know what device they have installed in the system - so you have to first determine it, then find and download the required driver.

On this I would like to stop in this article, consider the fastest ways to find drivers!

1. Search for native drivers

In my opinion, it is best to use the website of your device manufacturer. Let's say you have an ASUS laptop - go to the official website, then open the "support" tab (if in English, then support). Usually, such sites always have a search box - enter the device model there and find native drivers in a matter of moments!

2. If you do not know the model of the device, and in general, whether the drivers are installed

Sometimes it happens. In this case, as a rule, the user usually does not even know if he has this or that driver until he encounters a certain problem: for example, or when starting a game, a mistake pops up about the need to install video drivers, etc.

In this state of affairs, first of all, I recommend to go to device Manager and see if all the drivers are installed and if there are any conflicts.

(To enter the device manager in Windows 7, 8 - go to the control panel and enter "manager" in the search box. Then, in the results found, select the desired tab)

In the screenshot below, the “ audio devices"In the manager - note that there are no yellow and red icons in front of all devices. This means that the drivers for them are installed and function normally.

3. How to find drivers by code (ID, ID) of the device

If you see that the yellow exclamation mark is lit in the device manager, then you need to install the driver. In order to find it, we need to know the device ID. To determine it, right-click on the device, which will be with a yellow icon and in the context window that opens, select the "properties" tab.

A window should open like in the picture below. Open the information tab, and from the "value" field - copy the ID (just the whole line).

In the search line, paste the previously copied ID and click search. Surely the drivers will be found - you just have to download and install them.

4. How to find and update drivers using utilities

In one of the articles, I have already mentioned about special utilities, which will help you quickly find out everything and identify all the devices connected to it (for example, such a utility as Everest or Aida 64).

In my example, in the screenshot below, I used the AIDA 64 utility (you can use it for free for 30 days). To find out where to find and download the required driver, select the desired device: for example, open the display tab and select graphics device... The program will automatically detect the model, show you its characteristics and prompt a link (displayed at the bottom of the window) where you can download the driver for the device. Very comfortably!

5. How to find drivers for Windows automatically.

This method is my favorite! SUPER!

This is because you don't even need to think about which drivers are in the system, which are not, etc. It is about a package like DriverPack Solution.

What's the point? Download ISO file, about 7-8 GB in size (it changes from time to time, as I understand it). By the way, it is downloaded using a torrent, and very quickly (if you have normal internet, Certainly). After that, open ISO image(for example, in the Daemon Tools program) - a scan of your system should start automatically.

The screenshot below shows my system scan window, as you can see I had 13 programs (I didn't update them) and 11 drivers that needed updating.

Click to update everything and a window will appear in front of you with a selection of those drivers and applications that you want to update. By the way, a point is automatically created (just in case, if the system starts to behave unstable, you can easily roll everything back).

By the way, before the operation, I recommend that you close all applications that load the system and calmly wait for the end of the procedure. In my case, I had to wait about 15 minutes. After that, a window appeared with a proposal to save the work in all applications, close them and send the computer to restart. With which I agreed ...

By the way, after rebooting, I was even able to install - BlueStacks App Player. He did not want to install due to the fact that there is no video video driver (error 25000 Error).

Actually, that's all. Now you know simple and easy way how to find the drivers you need. I will repeat once more - last way I think the best, especially for users who are poorly versed in what they have in the computer, what they don't, what model is there, etc.

Everyone is happy!

If there is another simpler and quick way- recommend 😛

The problem of finding and installing drivers has existed since the days of Windows. For example, in Windows XP this problem was most acute, since there were no universal drivers at that time, and immediately after installing Windws XP, a whole list of devices for which drivers were not found appeared in the device manager. In Windows 7, 8, 8.1, this problem has become less acute, since in these operating systems ah exist universal drivers, which often fit almost every computer / laptop. But we must admit that when using such drivers, some of the functionality either did not work correctly, or did not work at all, for example, the maximum screen size was not used or the video camera showed the picture upside down. Therefore the problem search and install drivers is still the first problem after installing the operating system. In order to help solve this problem, this article was written.

First of all, I want to warn you that all the methods described below are as safe as possible and, if done correctly, will not harm your computer, but nevertheless, I recommend make a restore point so that in case of problems you can return to original state .

So, after installing the operating system, you have undefined devices in device manager .

Find the driver disc.

Quite often, discs are lost, thrown away, and sometimes do not come with the kit at all, so this method is not suitable for everyone, in which case, read the methods below.

Download drivers from the official site.

If you cannot find drivers for a laptop, just go to the official website of the laptop manufacturer, find the model of your laptop (enter the laptop model in the search bar), select the operating system that you installed and download all available drivers.

List of laptop manufacturers' websites:
Acer - www.acer.ru.
ASUS - www.asus.com
HP - www.hp.com/ru
Dell - www.dell.ru
MSI - www.msi.com
Samsung - www.samsung.ru
Toshiba - www.toshiba.com.ru
Sony - www.sony.ru
Lenovo - www.lenovo.com
eMachines - ru.emachines.com
LG - www.lg.com
Gigabyte - www.gigabyte.ru

Below is an example of finding drivers for an ASUS laptop.

If you have a computer, in this case, look at the labeling of each of the computer components (motherboard, video card, network card, etc.) for this it is not at all necessary to disassemble it. Then go to the component manufacturer's website and download the drivers for your operating system version.

Search for drivers by hardware ID.

Another way find and download drivers use the site http://devid.info/ru... This site contains information about a large number of hardware IDs and drivers for them. You just have to look at the ID of the unknown device and use the search to find it on the site and download it.

In order to see the device ID, go to the device manager, right-click on unknown device select "Properties"

In the properties window, go to the "Details" tab and in the "Property" field, select "Equipment ID" in the Values ​​field, you will see the coveted set of characters. Perhaps the data will not be in two lines, in this case, check each of the lines by copying it into the search line on the site.

After the drivers are found, you just have to download them, be careful because there are quite a lot of advertisements on this site.

In my case, the drivers were for Windows XP x64, although I needed for Windows 7 x64, nevertheless I downloaded the ones that were offered. it turned out that the archive contained drivers for other versions of operating systems, so download the most suitable one, it is quite possible that there will be what you need there.

Installing drivers using programs.

There are many programs to help you find, download and install drivers, the only thing is that these programs are, by and large, paid. In this example, I will consider one of free software- DriverPack Solution. this program is available in two versions, the first version ( online) - installed on a computer / laptop on which there are problems with drivers (it is necessary for the network card to work and have Internet access), scans your computer / laptop and displays a list of drivers that need to be installed, then click the "Install and update" button the program will install all the necessary drivers.

The second version ( full version ) is suitable if the computer / laptop on which there are problems with the drivers does not have an Internet connection or the drivers are not installed on network card... After downloading the program, run the DriverPackSolution.exe file, the program, having scanned the computer / laptop will show you all the devices that require installation and updating, in order to look at which devices will be installed driver check the boxes "Settings" and "Expert mode". After that, indicate which drivers you want to install (updating drivers is not necessary if you are not experiencing problems with these devices).

After that, the drivers will be installed.

In conclusion, I would like to add - you should not download drivers from suspicious sources, sites demanding money from you, a phone number, sending SMS, etc. you run the risk of being tricked or downloading a virus.
