Why Use DriverDoc to Update Microsoft Windows Drivers?
DriverDoc saves you the time and prevents the frustration that comes with updating Microsoft drivers. Even if you are experienced at finding, downloading, and manually updating drivers, the process can still be very time consuming and extremely irritating. DriverDoc eliminates this problem by finding the correct Windows drivers for you, safely downloading and updating them on your PC automatically.
Saves Time and Frustration
Finding the exact driver for your Microsoft hardware device can be extremely difficult, even directly on the manufacturer's website. Most often the reason why it's so difficult is that device names are represented differently. For example, when we looked for drivers on the Intel website, even while having the exact device number, we had a very difficult time finding the right drivers for our Intel hardware. Furthermore, when you search for drivers by name on a search engine like Google, it can take a long time to find all of the Windows drivers that you are looking for, even assuming that you know exactly which drivers you need.
DriverDoc solves this problem by using proprietary One-Click Update technology. First, DriverDoc scans your hardware and matches your devices with the latest Microsoft Windows drivers. Next, it downloads each required driver from a secure database of over 16 million drivers. Finally, DriverDoc automatically updates each driver in the correct order, ensuring all of your hardware works together without problems. You no longer have to do any searching or manual updating through the Control Panel with DriverDoc.
Supports Older Windows Devices No Longer Available
Many times companies will decide to no longer support older devices, which may make it nearly impossible to locate and download drivers for older Microsoft devices or operating systems. Even worse, sometimes these companies have gone out of business, and it's impossible to acquire their drivers. DriverDoc solves this common problem by keeping older Windows driver versions in our massive database (16 million and growing daily), ensuring you can match the right driver to your Microsoft hardware every time.
Provides a Backup of Your Current Microsoft Windows Drivers
If you buy a new PC, or upgrade to a new operating system, DriverDoc can be used to save backup copies of your Microsoft Windows device drivers to a USB, disc, or other storage location of your choosing. This is essential if you use peripheral devices such as printers, scanners or cameras. If something goes wrong with your PC, DriverDoc can get you back up and running quickly.
Eliminates the Risk of Downloading Malware-Infected Microsoft Drivers
Most people have become afraid of downloading software and drivers from unknown sites, and for good reason. Driver downloads and scans initiated from unethical sites can install spyware, malware, and viruses. DriverDoc protects you against this threat by scanning all driver files for malicious code before adding them to our database, ensuring all your Windows drivers are 100% clean and safe.
Maximizes Windows Hardware and PC Performance
Using outdated versions of Windows drivers for your hardware can negatively affect the performance of your PC. Corrupt and outdated drivers can cause crashes, freezes, or error messages that slow down the speed and performance of your PC. In addition, these problem drivers do not allow you to maximize all of the features and functionality of your Microsoft hardware. Using DriverDoc ensures that all of your PC drivers are updated to maximize PC performance, not just the ones for your specific hardware.

Drivers - Frequent Questions (FAQs)
Why Drivers Are Important
Every hardware device connected to your computer has a driver. Drivers tell your computer what the device is and how to use it. This includes both internal and external devices such as monitors, motherboards, sound cards, printers, webcams, digital cameras, scanners, and more. Drivers enable your operating system (Windows) to communicate effectively with you hardware. Without device drivers, none of your hardware would work properly.
What Exactly Are Drivers?
A device driver is a set of instructions. The driver tells your computer what to do with the hardware you are installing in it. For example, you may have a new printer. Your computer does not have information installed in it to handle all types of printers, since every printer is slightly different. Therefore, your printer needs something to tell it how to function properly. Device drivers are created by the manufacturers of the hardware (in this case the printer manufacturer) and provide very specific instructions to your operating system on how to use the device.
Corrupt and Outdated Drivers
Device drivers are a form of software and are susceptible to the same problems that can affect other types software. You should keep in mind that drivers may in fact become corrupt by malware infection or other issues, or may become deprecated (outdated) through operating system upgrades or updates. Drivers can work one day, and all of the sudden not work the next day, for a variety of reasons. The good news is that you can often reinstall the device driver to fix the problem.
Installing Drivers
Most of the time, device drivers are included on a CD, USB driver, or other media when you purchase your hardware. Most of the time, all you need to do is insert the media into your PC and follow the directions provided to you. The required drivers will be automatically loaded onto your computer. Unfortunately, sometimes it's not always that simple.
Finding and Downloading Drivers
If you cannot find the device driver you need from the installation disk, or you do not have a disk, you still have some options. You can visit the manufacturer's website (safest option), as well as a number of third-party websites (less safe), to search for the driver you need for your device. Remember, it is important to have the correct driver for your specific model of hardware, so it's recommended that you search based on the manufacturer and model number for each device.
Automating Driver Updates
Using a driver update tool such as DriverDoc is recommended for many reasons. First, you can be sure that drivers you are updating are correct for your exact model of hardware, preventing crashes, errors, and freezes.
