How to Locate Drivers in Windows
For each device on your Windows computer, there is a driver that goes with it. Drivers make the device work. Without drivers, your graphics card, sound card and disc drives would be useless. Because new drivers are released frequently, you may need to check a driver's information, to see if you have the latest version. By accessing Windows device manager, you can see driver information for a selected device.
