• Where to find installed drivers in 7. How to find and install the latest driver on your computer. How to Find Driver Readme Files in Windows

    Apparently, there is no need to say that most users know that for the correct operation of absolutely everything installed on the computer, equipment in the form of “hardware” components and some virtual devices, special software called drivers is required. However, quite often questions arise about, for example, where the printer driver is located in Windows 7 (as well as in other operating systems of this family) or some other device connected to the system, when control software needs to be integrated into the system manually. Let's try to find out, taking into account some of the nuances associated with installing and updating such software components.

    Where is the installed driver folder in Windows 7 and other systems?

    On various forums on the Internet, questions related to determining the exact location of the driver for a particular device can be found quite often.

    Some users claim that the main directory is the System32 directory in the root folder of the system, others believe that the storage location for the control software is the drivers directory subfolded in System32 or the DriverStore folder. Who's right? Both are right, since, depending on the type of driver itself (SYS, VXD, DRV, etc.), the location of the files may change.

    How to determine the exact location of the driver?

    Now let's try to find out where the drivers are located in Windows 7 by determining their exact location on the disk in the system partition. To do this, it is absolutely not necessary to “dig up” the specified folders manually. In addition, when you search by device name, you are unlikely to find the corresponding driver.

    The easiest way is to use the standard “Device Manager”, select the desired device, go to the properties item through the RMB menu and click the details button on the driver tab. After this, a special window will be displayed, which will show all the absolute (full) paths to the directory in which they are located.

    Where are the drivers in Windows 7 for updating?

    However, knowing the exact location of the control software may not be enough to update it. Many users rely solely on the operating system itself when trying to install updates. In general, true. However, in this situation, you should remember that when searching for the required driver, Windows first of all scans already installed components.

    If you set a search for updated drivers on the network (Internet), access is made only to Microsoft Corporation databases, and drivers are installed that are either digitally signed by the corporation, or software from those manufacturers for which support is declared. In this situation, it is better to use automated applications. But where are the drivers in Windows 7 that can be updated? Unfortunately, the system does not have them. But the corresponding programs access exclusively the websites of equipment manufacturers and developers of such software, after which they install updated components without user intervention.

    Where are the drivers loaded during manual download?

    Finally, let's look at where the drivers are located in Windows 7 for cases where the user found and downloaded them themselves. Typically, in browsers that are installed in all the latest versions of Windows, the folder for saving downloads is silently assigned to the “Downloads” directory, and the presence of such folders is provided for all accounts registered in the system. If your browser is enabled to constantly prompt you to save downloaded content, you can specify the folder yourself. Typically, files in EXE or INF formats are available for download.

    In the first case, the driver and accompanying software are installed by launching the applet as an administrator, in the second - through the RMB menu and selecting the installation item. If the system reports that this type of action is not supported, the update can be done through the “Device Manager” by using the browse button to indicate where the INF file was saved.

    Many people associate the word “storage” exclusively with information, but specialists and more advanced users know that in Windows, drivers are also stored and actively used as needed.

    Who are drivers and when are they needed?

    A driver is a so-called connecting bridge between the hardware and the computer device system. He always provides assistance in indicating the OS, what is connected to the computer and how it works. Driver acts as a program with files that interact with devices. After Windows is installed on a new computer, the operating system immediately does not know anything about external devices and requires drivers to “get to know” it.

    Usually, new versions of the OS immediately have “firewood” for working with the following programs:

    • bluetooth
    • sound
    • home network
    • video
    • additional devices

    Video, like sound with standard settings, does not allow you to enjoy all the benefits of connected devices without installing “firewood”.

    Where are any Drivers stored in Windows 7?

    In the seventh version of Windows, key installed drivers are placed in a folder called “Drivers”. It is located on drive: C/windows/system32. Even if the folder is found, you will not need to copy it for further reinstallation. The best practice is to use Device Manager.

    For example, you wanted to know where the sound driver is located. To do this, you need to expand the line for audio video and gaming devices and select the sound driver by clicking on properties. When the window opens, you should go to the information tab and select the option called “device description.” There will be information about the location of the required driver and other data.

    You can also use the official website of your computer manufacturer. There they have the latest versions of released “firewood” and numerous programs that provide the opportunity to make a quick update or a backup copy. Experts do not recommend using this method for inexperienced users (to avoid possible system errors).

    Having studied the information and strictly followed the instructions, you can correctly find the drivers and perform the necessary manipulations with them.

    The problem of finding and installing drivers has existed since the release of Windows. For example, in Windows XP this problem was most acute, since there were no universal drivers at that time, and immediately after installing Windws XP, a whole list of devices appeared in the device manager for which drivers were not found. In Windows 7, 8, 8.1, this problem became less acute, since these operating systems have universal drivers that often fit almost every computer/laptop. But we must admit that when using such drivers, some of the functionality either did not work correctly or did not work at all, for example, the maximum screen resolution was not used or the video camera showed the picture upside down. Therefore the problem searching and installing drivers still remains the first problem after installing the operating system. In order to help solve this problem, this article was written.

    First of all, I want to warn you that all the methods described below are as safe as possible and, if performed correctly, will not harm the computer, but nevertheless, I recommend make a restore point so that in case of problems you can return to original state .

    So, after installing the operating system, you have unidentified devices in device manager .

    Find the driver disk.

    Quite often, discs are lost, thrown away, and sometimes are not included at all, so this method is not suitable for everyone, in which case read the methods below.

    Download drivers from the official website.

    If you cannot find drivers for your laptop, just go to the official website of the laptop manufacturer, find your laptop model (enter the laptop model in the search bar), select the operating system you installed and download all available drivers.

    List of laptop manufacturers' websites:
    Acer - www.acer.ru.
    ASUS - www.asus.com
    HP - www.hp.com/ru
    Dell - www.dell.ru
    MSI - www.msi.com
    Samsung - www.samsung.ru
    Toshiba - www.toshiba.com.ru
    Sony - www.sony.ru
    Lenovo - www.lenovo.com
    eMachines - en.emachines.com
    LG - www.lg.com
    Gigabyte - www.gigabyte.ru

    Below is an example of searching for drivers for an ASUS laptop.

    If you have a computer, then look at the markings of each of the computer components (motherboard, video card, network card, etc.) to do this, it is not at all necessary to disassemble it. Then go to the component manufacturer's website and download drivers for your version of the operating system.

    Search for drivers by hardware ID.

    Another way find and download drivers use the site http://devid.info/ru. This site contains information about a large number of hardware IDs and drivers for them. All you have to do is look at the ID of the unknown device and use a search to find it on the website and download it.

    In order to view the device ID, go to the device manager, right-click on the unknown device, select "Properties"

    In the properties window, go to the "Details" tab and in the "Property" field, select "Equipment ID" in the Values ​​field you will see the coveted set of characters. Perhaps the data will not be in two lines, in which case check each line by copying it into the search bar on the site.

    Copy this set of characters and paste it into the search bar on the website http://devid.info/ru.

    After the drivers are found, all you have to do is download them, be careful because there are quite a lot of advertisements on this site.

    In my case, the drivers were for Windows XP x64, although I needed them for Windows 7 x64, nevertheless I downloaded those that were offered. It turned out that the archive contained drivers for other versions of operating systems, so download the most suitable one from the offer, it is quite possible that what you need will be there.

    Installing drivers using programs.

    There are a lot of programs to help you find, download and install drivers, the only thing is that these programs are by and large paid. In this example, I will consider one of the free programs - DriverPack Solution. this program is available in two versions, the first version ( online) - is installed on a computer/laptop that has problems with drivers (it is necessary that the network card works and has access to the Internet), scans your computer/laptop and displays a list of drivers that need to be installed, then clicking the “Install and Update” button the program will install all the necessary drivers.

    Second version ( full version ) is suitable if the computer/laptop that has problems with drivers does not have access to the Internet or the drivers for the network card are not installed. After downloading the program, run the DriverPackSolution.exe file, the program will scan your computer/laptop and show you all the devices that require installation and updating, to see which devices will have the installed drivers, check the “Settings” and “Expert Mode” boxes. After this, indicate which drivers you want to install (updating drivers is not necessary if you do not experience problems with the operation of these devices).

    After this, the drivers will be installed.

    In conclusion, I would like to add that you should not download drivers from suspicious sources, sites that require money from you, a phone number, sending SMS, etc. you risk being scammed or downloading a virus.

    If you assembled your computer yourself, buying components for it separately, then in this case all the drivers for the computer can no longer be found on one single manufacturer’s website, as it would be easy to do when buying a ready-made computer (this is described in the article “How to find drivers if you purchased a laptop or a ready-made desktop computer! After all, you were not buying a ready-made computer, which would belong to some manufacturer, would have its own model and drivers for which you could download all at once from one site. Once the computer is assembled from the spare parts you independently selected, it means that it will no longer correspond to any model and belong to any manufacturer, because it is already your creation :) Therefore, you will have to look for drivers separately for all the devices from which the computer was assembled. This also includes the case when, after purchasing a ready-made (already assembled) computer, after some time you decided to replace some hardware.

    Now I will show you how to find all the necessary drivers for a self-configured computer manually via the Internet.

    What drivers are is described in the article:

    So, you yourself selected all the components, assembled the computer, installed Windows and see that the drivers are not installed for all devices, and maybe not even installed for almost any. You can find out whether all drivers are installed from the standard “Device Manager” utility. I described how to do this in a separate article.

    And to install drivers in this case there are several options.

    Pay attention!
    If you have not even automatically installed drivers for network cards, which does not give you the opportunity to access the Internet from this computer, then all the actions discussed below will have to be performed from some other computer with Internet access. And after you download all the drivers, you will need to transfer them to the desired computer, for example, via a flash drive or disk.

    Option #1. Search for drivers manually using device codes via the website devid.drp.su

    I think this option is the most optimal. The method involves determining the device code and searching for drivers on the Internet using this code on various sites.

    Let's assume that in Device Manager we see something like this:

    Those. Drivers for several devices are not installed on the computer. However, it is problematic to determine through the device manager for which devices there are no drivers, because the names are somehow vague. You can only roughly understand. For example, an “Ethernet controller” is most likely a network card for connecting wired Internet. “Network controller” is probably a Wi-Fi adapter, i.e. network card for accessing the Internet via Wi-Fi.

    But each device has its own unique number, which the device manager can show us. And once we know the number, we can find a driver for the device via the Internet.

    Let's look at a couple of examples of how to find drivers manually using device codes:

    First, I will find the driver for the obscure device “Simple Communications PCI Controller”.

      We determine the device code for which we want to find a driver.

      To determine the device code, right-click on it in the device manager and select “Properties” from the menu that appears:

      In the window that opens, select the “Information” tab, and then below, under the “Properties” label, select “Hardware ID”:

      First of all, we try to search by the code from the lowest (4th) line. Right-click below on the 4th line with the code and select “Copy”.

      We are trying to find the driver by code on the website devid.drp.su.

      After copying the code, open the site:

      David.drp.su

      Let's try to find a driver for it. This site refers to the DriverPack Solution program, which collects almost all possible drivers. Here, with a high degree of probability, you can find a driver for any device.

      Having opened the site, the first thing you need to do is paste the device code copied in the previous step into the very top long line and delete in this code everything that comes from the “&” symbol to the end.

      For example, you copied the code:
      PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0166 &CC_0300

      This means that after removing the characters from “&” you should be left with the code:
      PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0166

      If you don’t know what system you have, open Windows Search and enter “System Information” there, then select the program that appears from the list:

      In the program that opens, in the window on the left, select “System Information” and on the right in the “OS Name” line the version of your Windows will be displayed (in my example in the image below “Windows 10”), and in the “Type” line - bitness: x64 or x86:

      Based on this data, we indicate the type and bit capacity of the system on the website devid.drp.su.

      After the device code is specified and the Windows version is selected, click the “Search Drivers” button.

      As a result, a list of drivers that are suitable for the hardware code you specified and for your version of Windows will appear on the page. Using the “Download” button, download one of the drivers to your computer.

      Pay attention!
      If several identical drivers are displayed (as in the image above), then download the driver that has the most recent release date in the “Driver Version” column.

      By clicking on the “Download” button, the driver will be downloaded to your computer and all that remains is to install it. There is nothing complicated at all in installing drivers, and I touched on this point in a separate article.

      Pay attention!

      It happens that different drivers will be displayed in the list of drivers, for example:

      This means that the hardware code may be similar for several devices. In this case, you can simply download and try installing all the proposed options until the required driver is installed.

    As you can see, the driver was not difficult to find. Now I’ll look at another example to make it more clear :) I’ll find, as an example, a driver for a device that is designated as an “Ethernet controller” in the device manager.

    I right-click on the device and open properties:

    In the window, select the “Details” tab, select “Equipment ID” from the list and copy the code from the 4th line:

    I open the website devid.drp.su, indicate the copied number there, and delete everything in it, starting from the “&” symbol. Next, I select the Windows version and perform a search:

    For my device and the version of Windows I selected, only one driver version was displayed, which I can download and install:

    That's it!

    However, it still occasionally happens that the website devid.drp.su does not find drivers for the hardware code you specified. In this case, there is an alternative option, which we will consider below.

    An alternative option for searching for drivers by device code

    If there are no drivers for the device you need on the well-known website devid.drp.su, then you can use this simple method:

      Determining the device code. In the same way, copy the equipment code (4th line):

      We are looking for a driver on various sites.

      Now we go to the Google.com website and paste the copied code directly into the search bar, after which we remove the “&” symbol and everything that follows it from the code, for example:

      PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1C3A &SS_0780= PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1C3A

      We press the search button and a list of sites that match our request is displayed in front of us:

      Now you need to open sites one by one, starting from the very first (top) and see if you can download drivers on the site.

      It’s worth noting right away that you won’t find the driver you need on all sites, since some of them will not have a driver for your version of Windows, and some will have all sorts of crap instead of drivers.

      In the example image above, I circled those sites where drivers can actually most often be found and downloaded without any problems. These are the sites:

      If you dig deeper into the search, you can find other sites where you can download the required driver. But you shouldn’t look for drivers on forums, as this is the longest way. You will have to read all the messages in a row to understand where the link to the driver you need is given.

      Now let's look at a couple of examples of downloading drivers from different sites.

      An example of downloading a driver from driver.ru:

      When you get to the site from the search results, the page will already display drivers, most of which are compatible with your device.

      Here you can simply download all the drivers that the site displays one by one and try installing them until the desired driver is installed. All incompatible drivers will either not be installed or simply will not work, so there is no need to be afraid of installing the wrong one.

      Remember to pay attention to the version of Windows for which the driver is intended.

      Keep this in mind!
      Drivers for Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 are very often compatible and if, for example, you couldn’t find drivers specifically for Windows 8.1, then try installing drivers for Windows 8. Or if you couldn’t find drivers for Windows 10, try installing from Windows 8.1 or Windows 8. It also happens that drivers for Windows 7 will be compatible with Windows 8, 8.1 and Windows 10. That is. You can try installing drivers from different systems.

      Let's look at an example of the download process from this site. Having found the driver you need, click on the download button below:

      In the next window, you need to confirm that you are not a robot by checking the box provided (see image below). Then click the “Download” button below:

      And finally, on the next page we will see at the very top a download link in the form of a file name with the extension:

      Click on it and download the file.

      An example of downloading a driver from members.driverguide.com:

      By going to the site from a search engine, the page will display a list of drivers that are likely compatible with your device:

      By clicking on the download button, a new page will open, where a large number of advertisements will catch your eye.

      Attention!
      Do not click anywhere if there is a lot of advertising on the site, be careful, otherwise you can pick up viruses and other infections on your computer!

      In the next window, a window will appear in the center to confirm that you are a real person and not a program :) You need to wait for the contents of the window to load and click the “Show” button:

      A new window will open, where we again wait a few seconds for the content to load. A code will appear in the window next to the inscription: “Enter.” This code needs to be rewritten exactly as it is in the line below (“Your Answer”) and click “Return to Page”:

      You will be returned to the original page where the “Continue” button will now appear. Clicking it will begin downloading the driver to your computer:

    In this alternative way, you can try to manually find drivers by device code. Of course, for this option, I showed examples of downloading the driver from only 2 sites, and there are a huge number of them. But the principle of downloading on all sites is the same. The only difference is mostly the interface and sometimes the download order.

    But I am more inclined that you can easily find drivers using the main method proposed in option No. 1.

    Option #2. Search for drivers on the official websites of device manufacturers

    If you were unable to find drivers for your devices using option 1, then you can do it this way.

    You will need to look at the manufacturer and model of each device on the computer through their documentation or special programs (for example, Aida64 or Sysinfo Detector), and then separately look for drivers for each device through the manufacturer’s official website or (if there are no drivers on the official website) on the Internet by device model.

    Let's take this example. In the device manager, I can see that the driver for the video card and some other incomprehensible device is not installed in the system:

    How did you determine that it was on the video card? But because if in the list of devices in the “Video Adapters” section there is a “Standard VGA Graphics Adapter” device, then there is no driver for the video card, otherwise the device would have the name of your video card, for example “NVIDIA GeForce GTX980”.

    Let's look at the sequence of your actions:

      Find out the manufacturer and model of the device.

      Pay attention!
      If you see “Unknown device” in Device Manager, then a driver for some motherboard device or a special program for the motherboard is probably not installed. Therefore, you must first install all the drivers for your motherboard and programs for it.

      If you assembled a computer from separate components, then you might still have documents for each purchased device, which indicates what we need - manufacturer and model. If there is no documentation left, then one of the programs that detects your computer’s hardware will help you find out the model. I recommend Aida64 or Sysinfo Detector. The first one is paid, but you can use it for free for 30 days. And the second one has a completely free edition. If you are thinking about what to choose, then temporarily choose Aida64, since the quality of this program will still be higher.

      How to install and use the Aida64 program is described in the article:

      How to install and use Sysinfo Detector is described in the article:

      If you define devices through the Aida64 program then you can determine what kind of devices without drivers is by selecting the “Devices > Windows Devices” section on the left and then opening the “Unknown” category on the right. Information about the selected device will appear below:

      So, in my example, the unknown device is called “Asus ATK-110 ACPI Utility”.

      I mentioned above that an unknown device is most likely something on the motherboard, so let’s immediately determine which motherboard is in the device. To do this, open the “Motherboard” section and go to the same subsection. On the right in the window we will see the manufacturer and model of the motherboard: Asus P5KPL-AM EPU.

      Now let's look at the video card. The video card is usually correctly identified in Aida64 through the Display > PCI/AGP Video section. As you can see, the program has identified the video card: “nVIDIA GeForce GT 430”:

      If you are looking at devices through Sysinfo Detector, then you can see devices with uninstalled drivers in 2 ways. The first one is in the “Deviations” section:

      As you can see, the same device was detected as through the Aida64 program: ACPI/ATK0110

      And the second way is to select the “Unknown devices” subsection in the “PCI devices” section. Here the program immediately saw 3 “problem” devices and one of them was the motherboard: Asus P5KPL-AM EPU.

      It is better to look at the manufacturer and model of the video card in the “PCI devices” section. In the list, find the “Display controller” subsection:

      The example shows that the card manufacturer is NVIDIA, and the model is GeForce GT 430.

      So, we have found out the necessary data and now we will look for the driver.

      We are looking for a driver on device manufacturer websites.

      We found out that there is a missing driver most likely for some device on the motherboard, or maybe some program specifically for the motherboard. The manufacturer of the board is Asus, and the model in my example is P5KPL-AM EPU. Since the manufacturer is Asus, we will look on the official Asus website.

      How to search for the official website of the device manufacturer and download drivers from it is described in detail. In short, you need to open the Google search engine, type the name of the manufacturer there and open the first site in the search results. Next, go to the “Service” or “Support” section and specify the device model, for example:

      In addition to the drivers, pay attention to the “Utilities” section (you can see it in the list in the image above), because sometimes the “Unidentified Device” is some kind of uninstalled special program for the motherboard. It is better to install the entire motherboard kit provided on the site to check if this was the problem.

      This example demonstrates searching for drivers for a motherboard. If you install all the drivers and utilities for it, then the “Unknown device” should disappear from the device manager.

      Now let's find the driver for the video card. Judging by the data taken from the Aida64 and Sysinfo Detector programs, the video card manufacturer is NVIDIA, and the model is GeForce GT 430. Since the manufacturer is NVIDIA, then we are looking for the official website of this company in the same way via Google:

      On the website we immediately see the “Drivers” section and in it the “Download drivers” item. Opening:

      A window will open where you need to specify information about the video card. The product type in my example is “GeForce”, if the model is GeForce GT 430, then the product series is “GeForce 400 Series”. It's not difficult to navigate here. Next, in the “Product Family” list, select a specific model – “GeForce GT 430”. All that remains is to select the version of Windows installed on your computer and the driver language. Then click “Search”:

      A page will open to download the required driver. Click the “Download Now” button:

      On the next page we accept the terms of the agreement and click the “Accept and Download” button:

    In the same way, you can download a driver for, in principle, any device, knowing its manufacturer and model. You just need to find the manufacturer’s official website and indicate the model there.

    As a last resort, if, for example, you cannot find drivers on the official website, you can search for them on other sites by entering the following query in Google search: “driver for Asus P5KPL-AM EPU.” Instead of Asus P5KPL-AM EPU, you, accordingly, need to indicate the manufacturer and model of your device for which you are looking for drivers.

    Well, in conclusion, I would like to note that if you use Windows 8 and older, then you most likely will not have problems with drivers. In most cases, these systems install all drivers automatically immediately after installing Windows. I tried to reinstall Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 on several laptops and all the drivers were automatically installed on each one, which eliminated the need to search for them myself.

    I consider this article complete. Now you can find the driver you need by device code or by its manufacturer and model. Let me remind you that you may need these options for searching for drivers if you independently selected components for your computer or changed some parts in a purchased computer.

    It is also possible to automatically install drivers on your computer using special programs. This possibility is described in a separate article:

    All the best to you! See you in other articles :)

    Downloading drivers for Windows 7 sometimes becomes necessary. Many users, when reinstalling the old operating system on Windows 7, were faced with the fact that some devices (printers, scanners, etc.) stopped working, and in order to restore their functionality, you need to download drivers for Windows 7. Let's look at what a driver is and what is it for?

    A driver is a program that ensures correct interaction between the computer and other devices. It turns out that for any device, be it a mouse or a printer, a driver is needed, otherwise the computer simply will not understand how to work with it.

    There are three ways to install drivers on your computer:

    • installation using standard Windows Update;
    • installation using device manufacturer CDs;
    • installation of drivers downloaded yourself.

    Method one

    Let's look at how to find and download official drivers for Windows 7 using standard tools. For example, you have connected a new device to your computer and want to know if it requires a driver. To do this, type “Device Manager” in the Windows search bar. Open it.

    If you need to install a driver for a device, then in the list that opens it will be in the “Other devices” line and will have a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark next to it.

    In order to install the driver, right-click on the device and select the line "Update driver". The window that appears will offer two options - “Automatic search” or “Search on this computer.”

    At the moment we are interested in automatically searching for drivers. When you select this item, the operating system will try to find drivers for Windows 7 on Microsoft servers.

    For standard, not very new and common devices, as a rule, drivers are found, and a message appears on the screen stating that the drivers are installed. All that remains is to click OK.

    In some cases, you will need to restart your computer. A message about this will appear on the screen.

    Method two

    As a rule, manufacturers of all kinds of printers, scanners and MFPs also supply CDs with software and drivers along with the equipment.

    In order to install such drivers you must:

    1. Read the instructions. They can be either printed or electronic - on the same CD.
    2. Run the installation file, after which the application will launch and further installation will be carried out according to the instructions.

    If the CD does not contain drivers for your operating system, then you need to download new drivers for Windows 7.

    Method three

    If for some reason there are no drivers for your devices, and Windows cannot install them automatically and the CDs are lost, then there is a way out - download drivers for your Windows 7 computer from the official website.

    The procedure is as follows:

    1. Go to the official website of the device manufacturer.
    2. Use the search to find your device (you will need to indicate the name and model).
    3. Select the Windows 7 operating system.
    4. Select the bit depth of the operating system (x86, x64).
    5. Download the installer file.

    Further installation will follow the same installation method as installing from a CD.

    Let's consider a special case of installation. If you downloaded the driver, unpacked the archive and did not find any startup file there, but only files with the *.inf extension. Such drivers will have to be installed manually.

    To do this, open "Task Manager" and find your hardware in the list of devices. Right-click to open the menu and select "Update Driver".

    The installation should begin. At the end of which the device will be installed and ready for use. You may need to restart your computer.

    Search for drivers

    Finding drivers on the Internet is not a difficult task, but at the same time it is very dangerous.

    Recently, the Internet has simply been flooded with virus software. Fraudsters disguise it as all sorts of useful programs and drivers.

    Therefore, entering lines like: download free drivers for windows 7 maximum in a search engine. Be careful to download drivers only from the official websites of device manufacturers.

    Never install drivers that are not suitable for your operating system. Even if the device works (which is unlikely), systematic errors and system failures are guaranteed.

    You cannot install drivers from a 32-bit system for 64-bit Windows 7. To find a driver for a 64-bit system, type in any search engine: download drivers for windows 7 x64 for free and among the links, select the link to the website of the manufacturer of your device. Then download and install the driver using one of the methods described above.
