Tips for navigating Drivers and Updates page and Updating Drivers



If you already know what kind of driver you need:



      Select your filter and apply the filter on the Drivers & OS Updates page.
      Note: Some additional findings could be useful. If so, the driver probably has the driver's name.
      If multiple messages, select the top one.

If you are having problems with a particular piece of hardware:



      Select the filter corresponding to that device on the Drivers and Updates page. (For example, if the problem is with the graphic, select "Display".)

Video Driver:



      Check the detailed specification of your product support page to see if you have Intel, nVidia or AMD graphics.
      Select the display filter and the filter on the Drivers & OS Updates page.
      Choose the best driver in the top of the display that brings your brand display (Intel, nVidia, AMD).
      Note that "display driver wireless" is not the standard video drivers.

Driver Ethernet / LAN:



      Open Device Manager
      Expand "Network Adapters"
      Look for an adapter that does not refer to "NAV", "Debug" or "Wireless". It may include the word "Ethernet". Note the mark. Most likely it comes from Intel, Broadcom, Atheros or Realtek. (If you are unable to determine which is more applicable entry, but they are both the same brand, it is not actually necessary to determine which entry is applicable.)
      Use the filter "LAN" and the filter driver and OS Updates page.
      Download the latest drivers at the top that mentions the brand that you found earlier.

Wireless driver:



      Follow the directions for Ethernet / LAN over, but reject that report cards "NAV", "Debug" and "Ethernet". Can you say "wireless". Use the "filter instead of Wi-Fi" LAN ".
