Updating Pc Drivers

[jcw]

Anyone know some good free software out there that looks at my windows system and check for driver updates and can install them ?

don't think you'll find one for free,most of them make you pay.

best way to check for free is download one(free download) let it scan for drivers

make a list of drivers,then go to the web site of the drivers and download them

I have had really good luck with DriverPack Solution.

SlimDrivers is really good and free.

These websites that offer free driver check-ups seem pretty sleazy, I would avoid them.

And of course, before using any of the stuff recommended here you'll back up the system disk, right?

most brand named PC's have such a java app on their web sites i.e. Dell / HP etc .. - run it and it will tell you what you should have installed.

Most of them have paid-for crapware installed. I would go to the vendor's support website before using any of that java stuff (not to mention Java is still inherently very insecure).

SlimDrivers is a good product, I liked it so much I bought the paid version, which does drivers, Windows and application updates (although the app updates aren't as good as Secunia PSI).

I have used this one on the free service you can pay for the full service but the free one does me update 2 drivers a day http://www.drivermax.com/

I wouldn't trust these free offers. Many of them come with Trojans and other BS.

Good advice. Intel's site has the same thing for any Intel based generic PC.
