Most people who upgrade to Windows 10, will have a good experience. However, there are some that will be confronted by challenging device and hardware issues. For example, there may be no sound, or the printers may not be readily recognized. Furthermore, the network may be a lot slower than usual. Normally, these problems are a result of drivers that are not working properly.

This article explains how you can upgrade your drivers to Windows 10:

1-Using the software update: This is able to update the most common drivers. Use it for sound, network and video drivers, as well as Chipsets. All you have to do, is watch out for any problems. When they occur, you should just open the Windows update and check to see whether there are any that you are missing.

You begin by clicking the start menu. Select the “Settings” tab. Click on “Update and Security”. You should then select the windows update which is situated on the left pane. Click on the “Check for updates” button.

You will need to have a working internet connection to start the checks. Windows will automatically check your system configurations and make the necessary updates.

2-Download and Install Drivers: These can be accessed from your manufacturer’s website. First of all, you need to visit the website, and download all the drivers for Windows 10. There is a special support section, which is open to you the moment that you purchase the software. Each brand will have its own unique protocols, so there is no point in giving you a standard one that will not work in some situations.

However, the procedures are normally very straightforward and the drivers are self-installing, so that you do not have to worry about your lack of technical knowledge. In any case, there is always a support team to talk you through the process if need be.

If you want to find your drivers even quicker, go to your search engine and type the following request “Brand name + model name + drivers”. You will get a direct link, from which you can start the process. Always make sure that you select the Windows 10 versions because others may work, but could actually damage your system. However, if you do not find any, most of the Windows 7 and Windows 8 versions are compatible with Windows 10. Remember that all these are executable files, which mean that they end in the stem “.exe”. All you have to do is double click them and the rest will follow.

Make sure that you follow the prompts and agree to the terms/conditions of the installation after reading them.

3-Driver Easy: This is the final step, if the others have failed to work. It is an update tool that has access to a database of various drivers. When you install it, the Drive Easy tool will scan your computer to detect all the problems on the system. It will then prompt you to install the drivers that you need.

All this, can be done with nothing more than a click. Of course, some people are rightly concerned about adware and pop-ups, but that may be the price that you have to pay, in order to get your PC working again.

Make sure that your protection/security systems are switched on and up to date before downloading anything from the internet.
