Using the installation file.
Using device manager.
Using driver-packs (programs that automatically install drivers).

Now everything is in order.

Installing drivers from disk

The disc can contain as a set of drivers (more often when buying a laptop) or the driver of individual devices when assembling a computer or individual devices.

To install the drivers, it is necessary to place the disk into the drive and wait for the autorun if this function is enabled or run it manually.
Next, when downloading the program, select a device that needs the driver installation and install it. There will be no difficulties with this, because the installation of drivers does not differ from the installation of any other program.
When installing, a number of questions may occur, the answers to which you must select yourself. For example, confirm the digital signature or allow the installation of an incompatible driver. With these, too, it is not difficult to deal with the basic knowledge of the principles of operation of the OS and equipment.

So, let's start with the fact that you need to enter the dispatcher itself. On the example of Windows, we will look at how to enter the dispatcher and how to install the drivers.

Path: My Computer-\u003e Control Panel-\u003e System-\u003e Equipment-\u003e Device Manager.

If your OS requires the driver installation, the device that needs it will be marked by a question mark.

To install the right mouse click on the device and select the driver from the list - update the driver. In the next window, we refuse to install from the Internet and click on.
The easiest way to automatically install the drivers by selecting the "Automatic Installation" item, and the system itself will find and install required driver. After the process is completed, a request to resolve the reboot, with which we agree.

Installation using driver-packs

Recently, you can find a variety of packs that contain multiple drivers for the overwhelming majority of existing equipment. With the help of such programs that install, almost all drivers, the installation process is very quick and does not require deep knowledge.

As a rule, the program works in this way:

Request for testing availability of drivers. The program scans the system and finds missing or requiring driver updates.
Request for download or installation. Loading is possible in the presence of an Internet connection, and the installation comes from existing files.
Installation. The program itself will install the necessary drivers or update existing ones.

Each user personal computer Sooner or later faces the need to install drivers. Most often this happens after reinstalling the Windows operating system. But not everyone can remember where all these disks with the drivers lie, and besides, the discs have a scratching property and gradually come to complete disrepair. Is it possible to install the drivers without installation disks? Of course you can, and today we will learn three ways with which you can install all the necessary system drivers.

Installing drivers from the manufacturer's site

This method is the most reliable, since downloading drivers from the manufacturer's website can be completely confident in their compatibility with your equipment. In addition, the manufacturer always places the most fresh versions Drivers. Also, we will avoid infection with viruses that can easily be picked up when searching for drivers on third-party sites. In order to download the driver from the manufacturer's website, you must first find out the model of the equipment to which you need a driver. To do this, you can see the name of the model on the Equipment itself, and if you do not want to climb inside the computer or laptop, you can use special program For diagnostics, for example AIDA 64.

Learning the model of our equipment, go to search. For example, we need drivers to the Motherboard ASUS H 87-PLUS. Go to the official website of ASUS and go to the Support section

In chapter specify manual model Click on the button To begin, Choose item motherboards and point in it a series and model of our motherboard.

Then click on another button To begin and on new page Go to section Download. Here we indicate the type and discharge of our operating system.

After that, a list of different drivers will appear on the page. We choose the ones that we need, load and install.

Search Drivers by code

If suddenly you could not determine the manufacturer and the equipment model, you can search for drivers on the Internet on the unique code of the equipment. To do this, right-click on the icon. My computer, Select item Control and in the window that opens with the list to choose Device Manager. Then, on the right side of the window, double-click on the device to which we need to install the driver, and go to the tab Intelligence. Here we need to copy the VEN & DEV device marking code.

Now we go to the site Devid.info/en and enter search string code of our device.

Press Search, Then, just below, select the type and discharge of the operating system installed with us and download our driver.

Installing Drivers from Collection

The fastest I. easy way Driver installation is a set of collection. One of the most popular drivers collections is Driverpack Solution. This free program, You can download from the site DRP.SU/RU, in automatic mode System scanning and installs all the necessary drivers.

The program is downloaded as an ISO image, which is then recorded on the DVD disk. Then everything is simple: insert the disk into the drive and activate the autorun (if not active). Also on the site there is a lightweight version - it is a program that after installation performs the system scanning and searches for the necessary drivers on the Internet. However, it is necessary for its work so that the driver is installed on the network fee. In general, the DriverPack Solution program is an excellent utility that helps to quickly solve the problem with the drivers, but it is impossible to ensure that the drivers found by it will be absolutely compatible with your equipment and operating system. Therefore, if possible, it is better to use the first way - loading drivers from the official website of the equipment.

Probably everyone who at least once reinstalled the operating system, a popular question arose: how to find out which drivers need to be installed on a computer for its stable operation? It is for this question that we will try to answer this article. Let's deal with more.

In theory, on a computer or laptop you need to install software for all devices that require this. Over time, the developers of operating systems are constantly expanding the Microsoft driver database. And if in windows times XP had to be installed manually almost all drivers, then in the case of newer OS, many drivers are installed automatically. Nevertheless, devices remain, the software for which you have to be installed manually. We bring to your attention a number of ways to help you solve this issue.

Method 1: Official Manufacturers Sites

In order to install all the necessary drivers, you need to put software for all boards in your computer. Meaning motherboard, video card and external fees ( network adapters, sound cards etc). At the same time B. "Device Manager" It may not be indicated that the drivers are needed for the equipment. When installing the operating system, the standard software for the device was simply used. Nevertheless, the software for such devices must be installed original. Most of the entire installed software fall on the motherboard and the chips integrated into it. Therefore, at first we will look for all the drivers for the motherboard, and then for the video card.

We learn the manufacturer and model of the motherboard. To do this, press the keys "Win + R" On the keyboard and in the window that opens, enter the command "CMD" To open the command line.

IN command line You must enter alternately commands:
WMic Baseboard Get Manufacturer
WMic Baseboard Get Product
Do not forget to prescript "ENTER" After entering each command. As a result, you will see on the screen of the manufacturer and the model of your motherboard.

On the site, search for a search box or the corresponding button in the form of a magnifying glass. As a rule, by clicking on this button you will see the search field. In such a field it is necessary to enter the model of the motherboard and click "ENTER".

On the next page you will see the search result. You must select your motherboard from the list. Usually, under the name of the board model there are several subsections. If there is a section "Drivers" or "Downloads", Press the name of such a section and go to it.

In some cases, the following page can be divided into subsections with software. If so, we are looking for and choose a subsection "Drivers".

The next step will be the choice of the operating system and the discharge from the drop-down list. Please note that in some cases the drivers may be distinguished when choosing different OS. Therefore, look at the wrong system that is installed with you, but also below.

After selecting OS, you will see a list of just software that your motherboard needs to interact with other components of the computer. You need to download them all and install. Download occurs automatically after clicking on the button, "DOWNLOAD" or the corresponding icon. If you downloaded the archive with the drivers, then before installation, be sure to remove all its contents into one separate folder. After that, install the software.
