Updating drivers in the Windows Control Panel is a relatively simple process. The steps below will guide you through the process of updating your drivers using the Windows Control Panel:
1. Open the Windows Control Panel by clicking on the “Start” button in the lower left corner of your screen.
2. Once the Control Panel has opened, click on the “System and Security” option.
3. In the System and Security window, click on the “Device Manager”.
4. In the Device Manager, you can then find each type of device you have installed on your computer. Expand the device type you want to update by clicking on the arrow next to it.
5. Once the type of device is expanded, right-click on the individual device that needs an update and select the “Update Driver Software” option.
6. You will then be presented with two options: “Search automatically for updated driver software” or “Browse my computer for driver software.”
7. Choosing the first option will allow Windows to search for available driver updates for that device over the internet. If a new driver is found, Windows will download and install it automatically. If no updates are found, you may need to go to the device manufacturer’s website to find and download the latest driver.
8. If you choose the second option, you can select from a list of previously downloaded drivers or point Windows to a location where you have downloaded a driver.
9. Once the driver is installed, you can check the version information to make sure you have the correct version.
10. Lastly, restart your computer to complete the process.
By following these steps, you will be able to update your drivers in the Windows Control Panel quickly and easily. It is important to keep your drivers up to date to ensure optimal performance of your system.
