The most common way to find out what driver version you are using is to look in Device Manager. Device Manager is a Windows utility that helps you view and manage all the hardware connected to your computer.
To access Device Manager, open the Start menu and type ‘device manager’ into the search bar, then select the top result.
From the Device Manager window that appears, select a device from the list on the left side of the window. Then, double-click on it to open its properties.
Once you have opened the selected device’s properties, you can find the version information for its driver at the bottom of the General tab. This will tell you which version of the driver you currently have installed.
You can also check the version information by visiting the manufacturer’s website and downloading the driver from there. The website should list the version number of the latest driver available for download.
If you need to update your driver, you can do so directly from Device Manager. On the Driver tab of the device’s Properties window, select the Update Driver button. This will open the Update Driver dialog box, which will allow you to search for and download the latest driver version available. Once the update is complete, your driver will be up to date.
Alternatively, you can use a dedicated third-party driver updater program to quickly scan your system, identify outdated drivers, and download and install the latest versions automatically. This tool can be particularly useful if you have multiple devices connected to your computer, as it saves time by not having to manually check for driver updates for each device.
In summary, the easiest way to find out what driver version you are using is to use Device Manager. You can access Device Manager from the Start menu, locate the device in the list, and check the version number in its Properties window. If you need to update your driver, you can do so by selecting the Update Driver button on the Driver tab. Alternatively, you can use a driver updater program to quickly scan and update any outdated drivers.
