Your 32 bit PC is not connecting to Wi-Fi and network is not working? The Bluetooth and motherboard on Windows 8 64 bit got problems? Update to Windows 10 but your computer works improperly? If you have a PC (either a desktop, a laptop or even a notebook), especially when you reinstall Windows OS, you need to download Windows drivers that are compatible with it. A driver is software that allows your computer to communicate with hardware or devices. Most of the computer problems you come across in daily life are the matter of drivers. When the drivers are outdated, broken, corrupted, or imcompatible with the Windows OS, you will encounter errors and conflicts. If you have the proper drivers, your computer will work perfectly and never gets the issues, like there is no sound, keyboard isn't working, Ethernet connection drops occasionally, or printer isn't printing properly.

Important: Different Windows OS requires the specific drivers to match, like Windows 10 64-bit requires drivers compatible with Windows 10 64-bit, Windows 8 requires Windows 8 drivers, Windows 7 requires Windows 7 drivers, etc. To protect the computer from hardware failures and conflicts, you need to download and install the best-matched drivers.

Where to Get Windows Drivers for Your Laptop, Desktop or Notebook

Windows driver download needs your attention. There are many resources but getting the correct drivers has never been easier. You can go to the manufacturer's website to search for the drivers, but many of them may not be available any more. One workable way is to use professional Windows drivers download utilities, like Driver Talent (formerly called DriveTheLife), a free tool which contains more than 500,000 driver packages and offers the latest official or WHQL drivers for your Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows XP, and Windows Vista, 64-bit or 32-bit. What's more, it can intelligently check which drivers you lose, which drivers have problems, and help you download and install the right drivers that match the devices and hardware the best. It supports all hardware and devices (see the table below).

Editor's Note: DriveTheLife has been updated to the new version called Driver Talent with a fresh new look.

Step 3

Your PC isn't just one big piece of hardware; it's made up of many devices like WiFi and sound cards, hard disks or RAM. For each device, Windows^® needs a special program called a driver to 'talk' to it.

HP^® printers, ASUS^® sound cards, your Logitech^® mouse and more all need their own special drivers, each different from the next. Without any drivers, your PC simply can't function.

• New printers, webcams or other recently-purchased devices won't work.
• Older but undamaged devices stop working after an update.
• Sound and video problems - graphics cards are especially prone to issues if their drivers aren't current.
• A 'Code 10' error, which is a hardware-specific error that typically means a broken or missing driver.
• A 'Blue Screen Of Death' (BSOD) error, often caused by a breakdown of communication between Windows^® and a device.

DriverUpdate™ scans for outdated drivers on your PC and updates them - in one click!^* It can tell you which drivers are old.

That puts you in total control of the drivers that run your hardware. You can choose which ones to update, and which ones to keep as is. You can also schedule regular scans to keep your existing drivers up-to-date.
