Program to update all drivers? free. - TheLuckyGuy - Jan 4, 2015
Hey, is their an free program that updates all my drivers?
Because I would like to know which one I need and which one I don't need.
I have like 5 nVideo driver installations. Since I don't update all other drivers maybe they are old too...

It is not recommended to use 3rd party programs to update drivers. But, some manufactures provide utilities that allow installation and update of drivers. Intel has one online. NVIDIA has update tools provided with drivers and usually check for updates happens in background.

But nVidea is updated. But all my other drivers might not be up to date.
Would like to have a program that handle that.

Trust me, do not use such utilities. You never need to update your drivers (except the GPU ones), even if they are outdated. Drivers updates only provides bug fixes for that hardware component. If you never had a single issue with that device, what's the point of updating it? Drivers updaters can harm your system and at one point are really dangerous to use. Trust me, if you are to update your drivers, do it from your laptop or computer manufacturer website. Not by using one of these shit tier programs.
