Two ways to update a driver - both free
Try Windows built-in tools first
Covers most common devices
- Open Settings → Windows Update and check for updates
- Look under Advanced options → Optional updates → Driver updates
- Or open Device Manager, right-click the device → Update driver
- Choose "Search automatically for drivers"
Windows Update delivers signed drivers for most common hardware and is the safest first step. If it reports that the best driver is already installed while the problem persists, move to the catalog search.

When Windows has no driver for the device
- Identify the device by model name or Hardware ID
- Check your Windows version and system architecture
- Find the matching entry in the catalog
- Download from the manufacturer's official server
- Install and roll back from Device Manager if necessary
Every catalog entry links to the official vendor server and lists the supported Hardware IDs, systems and file details - so you can confirm the match before installing anything.

A growing database built from official driver sources
Verified driver entries link to Microsoft Update Catalog or the hardware manufacturer's official servers (Dell, Lenovo, NVIDIA). For entries marked SHA-256 verified we downloaded the actual file, computed its checksum and parsed the driver package - the signing data, supported hardware and file contents are published on the driver page. Entries without the badge carry catalog metadata and an official source link while their file verification is pending. We never host or repackage driver files.

Frequently asked questions
▸How do I know which driver I need?
If you know the exact device model, search by its name. If you don't - or the device shows as unknown - search by its Hardware ID: open Device Manager, right-click the device and select Properties → Details → Hardware Ids, then paste the top value into the search. The Hardware ID maps to the exact device, so the matching driver entries appear even when the model name is unclear.
▸Are driver downloads free?
Yes. Driver pages link to the listed official source, such as Microsoft Update Catalog or the hardware manufacturer's website. Where available, we also publish driver metadata and SHA-256 checksums. We never charge for downloads, and we never host or repackage driver files.
▸Where do the downloaded files come from?
Directly from the manufacturers' own servers - Microsoft Update Catalog, Dell, Lenovo, HP, ASUS, NVIDIA, Epson and Canon. The download button takes you to the official server, not to a file of ours. Each driver page names its source, and verified entries also list the package contents and SHA-256 checksum.
▸Is it safe to update drivers manually?
Manual updating is safe when the device model, Windows version, system architecture and driver package match correctly. An incompatible driver may cause the device to work incorrectly, so review the supported Hardware IDs and file details before installation and create a restore point when appropriate. If a new driver misbehaves, Device Manager can roll back to the previous version.
▸Do I need to update drivers if everything works?
Usually not. A working device with a stable driver rarely benefits from an update. Update a driver when something is broken, when a device is missing after a Windows reinstall, or when the manufacturer fixes a specific problem you actually have. Graphics drivers for gaming are the main exception - those receive meaningful performance updates.
▸What if Windows can't find a driver for my device?
Windows Update covers many devices, but not all - especially older hardware, card readers and some laptop-specific components. When Windows reports that no driver was found, the Hardware ID is the reliable path: it identifies the device precisely, and searching by it shows which official driver package supports it.
