Driver detection and download
We'll find the drivers that are compatible with your Windows computer. You can also back up and restore your drivers.
Detection of your hardware and software configuration
Install our detection agent to display your configuration in detail. Here's how the 3 steps work.
Installing the detection agent
Click on the "Start detection" button below and follow the instructions.
Detecting your configuration
Once the agent has been installed, you will be prompted to start detecting your configuration. Accept and continue.
View your configuration
Once detection is complete, a web page will open listing all the components and software on your Windows PC.

What's a driver for?
A driver is a small layer of software to be installed between the Windows operating system and your computer's components and peripherals. If the driver is missing, in the best-case scenario the system will only be able to take advantage of a tiny fraction of the functionality offered by the various components, and in the worst-case scenario it won't recognize the component in question at all, and will therefore be unable to operate it!
When should I install or update a driver?
As a rule of thumb, if your computer is running perfectly and all peripherals are fully recognized by Windows, then there's no point in updating the drivers. On the other hand, if components or peripherals are not recognized by the system, or if you experience slowness, missing functions or abnormal crashes, you are strongly advised to update them as soon as possible.
Precautions to take before installing drivers
Before you start installing or updating drivers, we strongly recommend that you perform either a full backup of your computer, or a restore point. This is essential, as the drivers we offer are supplied directly by the manufacturers, and we do not test them - even with the best will in the world this would be impossible. Sometimes drivers are not compatible with other software or components, and this can lead to system instability, or even, on very rare occasions, a complete computer crash, so this precaution is essential.
