About DriverCove

DriverCove is an independent technical catalog of Windows drivers. We collect driver metadata from official distribution channels - Microsoft Update Catalog and manufacturer catalogs (Dell, Lenovo, NVIDIA) - verify the files, and publish everything a person needs to choose the right driver: exact versions, release dates, supported hardware IDs, SHA-256 checksums and direct official download links.

What we do differently

• We never host or repackage driver files. Every download link points to the manufacturer's own servers.
• We download and hash the files we list, so you can verify that what you downloaded is what the vendor published.
• We show all versions of a driver, not just the newest - sometimes an older version is the right choice.
• We publish the supported Hardware IDs for each driver, so compatibility can be checked precisely.

How the site is funded

Manual driver downloads are free and always will be. The site earns a commission when visitors purchase Outbyte Driver Updater - an application by Outbyte that automates driver detection - through links on this site. This relationship is disclosed on every page where the product appears. It does not influence which drivers we list or how we verify them.
