Need to update your drivers? It\u2019s probably easier than it sounds. You can do it manually or automatically. We\u2019ll walk you through the steps for each.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you decide to update your drivers manually, you can follow steps below to install your drivers on Windows 10.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you start:<\/strong> If you’re not a tech-savvy user, or you’re looking for a quick and easy way to update all the device drivers, you can try Driver Easy<\/strong><\/a>, the best driver updater that allows you to update all your drivers safely and quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 ways to update device drivers in Windows<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>
\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
Option 1 – Manually<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll need some computer skills and patience to update your drivers this way because you need to find exactly the right driver online, download it and install it step by step.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
Option 2 – Automatically (Recommended)<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is the quickest and easiest option. It\u2019s all done with just a couple of mouse clicks \u2013 easy even if you\u2019re a computer newbie.<\/mark><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Option 1: Update Drivers Manually [Step by Step]<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Open Windows 10 Device Manager by pressing Win+X<\/strong> (the Windows logo key \"windows and the X key) at the same time and clicking Device Manager<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

2. In the Device Manager window, expand the categories and locate the device that you wish to update the driver for.
In this example, I choose Intel Wireless Bluetooth<\/strong> which is the model of my on-board Bluetooth adapter. To identify the Bluetooth adapter, one common method is to look for the name that starts with a manufacturer (e.g. Intel, Qualcomm or Realtek) and ends with a \u201cBluetooth\u201d.
Once you found the correct Bluetooth device, right-click the device and in the drop down menu, select Update driver<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

3. In the pop-up window, you’ll see two options. Click Search automatically for updated driver software<\/strong>.  \"update<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Windows will try to find and install drivers for your device automatically. In some cases, you will see a prompt saying that The best drivers for your device are already installed<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But it DOES NOT<\/strong> mean you have the latest driver. Windows may not be able to give you the latest driver since it involves third-party manufacturers. At the time of writing, Windows tells me I currently have the best driver (Ver 23.20.0.3), but it turns out there’s already a newer driver (Ver 23.50.0) on the manufacturer’s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you’re troubleshooting a driver issue, it could be crucial to make sure you have the latest device drivers.<\/strong> You can go to each manufacturer’s website, manually search for the drivers for your device model, and install the drivers one by one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or you can use the following method to update all the device drivers safely and automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Option 2: Update Drivers Automatically<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Updating drivers on PC can be time-consuming and error-prone for users who don\u2019t have much computer skills. If you\u2019re not comfortable playing around with drivers manually, you can try to update drivers automatically with Driver Easy<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
