Upgrade Your Computer’s Drivers – Fast!
One of the sites that I had gone today is Drivers Software. This is another software resource to hunt for drivers. I had been able to bookmark this one as another site to find drivers whenever I perform preventive maintenance on my PC.
Out-of-Date Driver Detection
There is this one particular thing that I like on this site: the site offers two big buttons that offers options to either choose UPDATE DRIVERS or conduct FREE SCAN. Either way these buttons lead to download a software to use for both functions.
scan or update?
I did click one of the buttons to download and install the software. Like other typical software this one starts out with a helpful wizard-like interface. Eventually, this software informed me that I need to update my Nvidia drivers as well as my Realtek sound drivers too.
those two drivers that need to be upgraded
The scanning was really free, but updating those two drivers are not. When I hit the NEXT button, it lead me to the page where I had to pay for the upgrade feature. The scanning feature really saves me a lot of time in checking whether all of my drivers are upgraded.
The Website
The site lists down all the drivers that Drivers Software keeps track of. Initially, I mistook that for free downloadable links, but I noticed that each one of this links points out to the same software file that I had to install to detect and upgrade outdated software.
The search feature also needs more work. I tried entering “Epson C41UX” but that returned zero results. I had to enter “Epson” on the search box instead to see the link going to all Epson drivers. I clicked on that single link and I found the particular driver that I am looking for.

I also love this site it really helps me find the drivers I need. Especially when I’m repairing a computer and the owner lost their driver CD’s.
I followed you on twitter.

Ang hirap namang hanapin ang link para sa download software. Lakihan mo naman para sa katulad kong malabo ang mata.
