Program that checks needed drivers? - Hamware - Jul 30, 2015

Is there such a program that checks for the essential drivers that you need?

Most manufacturers make a checker for their own hardware, it would help with a bit more of an explanation of your setup. E.g. have you reinstalled a laptop and need the drivers?

No just going to do a fresh install for Windows 10, and would think that I would need to install all my drivers again. But I'm not sure, what drivers I would need installing. 😝

Ahh, in which case the best option I can think of would be to use device manager to find what doesn't have drivers, then google the device name to get the driver (or let windows try and find it)

I'll do that, sounds like an alternative. Thanks mate. 🤝
