How to Update Your Drivers on Windows 10

Description:

A driver update isn't always a fix-it task, either. An updated driver might enable new features for the hardware, something we see on a regular basis with popular video cards and sound cards. It usually takes around 15 minutes to update a driver in Windows, even less time if the driver is self-installable or you get it via Windows Update (more on all of that below).

Windows/Computer Drivers
  • A device driver is a piece of software that
    allows your operating system to start, use and
    control a hardware device. In other words,
    drivers are the translators that enable your
    operating system.
  • Drivers are the programs responsible for the
    proper communication between your operating
    system (Windows, Linux, macOS, etc.).

    associated with hardware devices.

How does a Driver work?
  • Drivers are files that send requests from an OS
    to hardware or applications to instruct them on

    communications from the OS into a format that is
    understandable by the hardware or application.
