Updating drivers - easy way?

Triorchin · 6 Jan 2013 at 17:23

I have just built my new computer, installed all supplied drivers, windows 8 and updated windows 8 to newest version.

I know I can go onto the manufacturers website to find drivers for my motherboard and graphics card but is there an easier way to do it so that it just updates all the currently installed drivers?

I have found the manufacturers pages for both, so if there is no easy way I should be ok to install the drivers (it will probably just take me longer.)

Sorry if this is the wrong forum area...

Best to get it from the manufacturers. Depending on the motherboard manufacturer the disk sometimes searches the internet and installs the latest one anyway.

As for the graphics card, use either the AMD or Nvidia site (depending on what card you have) to update the drivers.

Let Windows take care of it. The only driver that I install manually is GPU.

Windows will do the majority, if not all the drivers now. The only ones you really need to update after that would be the graphics card and chipset, which you can grab off the respective manufacturers websites.

Let windows manually handle all drivers and any left then get them from the manufactures website.

I let window install the drivers when I installed win 8, then I update them if n when I see an update
