Downloading drivers

Downloading drivers with Driver Detective has never been easier. Downloaded drivers are automatically saved in your driver download directory which may be changed in Tools. All downloaded drivers are accessible from History.

PC Drivers Headquarters always recommends viewing the ReadMe before installing any driver for specific installation instructions or known issues. Readme can be found on the Driver Information window in the Driver Information tab as a link (when available) under Driver Update, alternatively it may also be found in the compressed driver installation file or driver installation directory.

NOTE: Installing an alternative driver for a device may result in the device still showing as out of date on a subsequent scan.
