Update and Install Drivers

Overview

Windows 10, similar to any other operating system needs to communicate with hardware devices, such as printers, display monitors, sound cards, and so on. However, different users might be using different types of hardware devices in their computers. For example, a user might be using a computer with a 15'' LCD monitor while another might be using a 17'' LED monitor. Although, both the monitors provide display for the computers, they do it differently. In order to communicate with such disparate hardware devices, Windows 10 requires an interface. Device drivers provide the interface between the Windows 10 operating system and the underlying hardware devices.

Drivers are programs made by hardware manufacturers that control how hardware devices function. Each hardware device attached to your computer will have its own driver. When the computer runs, the driver converts the instructions of the operating system to messages that the device understand.

While Windows 10 comes with most of the commonly used device drivers, you cannot expect Windows 10 to anticipate the driver requirements of all hardware devices. This is particularly true for newly released hardware devices. It is quite possible that your computer works slowly while performing certain functions because of incompatible or outdated drivers. For example, the video hardware of your computer may meet the system requirements of the game you are playing, but outdated drivers may prevent the game from displaying correctly.

By updating and installing drivers, you can improve the performance and overall stability of your computer and hardware devices. A tool that you can use to update and install drivers is 3DP Chip.
