Find Your Laptop Drivers Easily!

Many people, especially beginners, struggle in
finding drivers for their laptops. In this article, I will illustrate
two ways to help you find your laptop drivers quickly, and easily.

The
first method we will consider is to visit a company's website, and
attempt to find a 'Drivers' or 'downloads' link. If a similar link is
not immediately apparent, look for a search box. Most laptop companies
have a search box somewhere on the homepage of their website. Type the
model number of your laptop into the search box and click search.
Typically, you will be sent to an overview of the model you have
entered. Look for 'Downloads' or 'Drivers' links. Hopefully, if this
link is available, you can follow it to find the necessary drivers for
your laptop.

For example, say you have a Dell Latitude D600
laptop, for which you wish to locate updated drivers. The first step is
to visit Dell's website. From the first page, click on the 'Drivers and
Downloads' section.

After clicking on the 'Drivers and Downloads'
link, we choose the required model. In our example, it is Latitude.
Then we enter the model number (D600), followed by selecting our
operating system. The Dell website will show a list of available
drivers and software updates for your model. Select the driver you
wish, and click 'Download'. What if you do not know the website of your
laptop's manufacturer? Or, perhaps when visiting the website, you
couldn't find the 'Downloads and Drivers' section? A second method for
locating laptop drivers would be to visit Google (www.google.com), and
entering, "Download (manufacturer) (model name and number) [type]
driver" or "[type] driver for (manufacturer) (model name or number)"
into the query box, substituting your own manufacturer, model name and
number.

For example, if we wished to find the sound card for a
Dell Latitude D600 laptop, we could go to Google. We would enter either
of the following queries:

-"Download Dell Latitude D600 soundcard Drivers"

-"soundcard driver for Dell Latitude D600"

The
driver download page for you laptop should appear near the top of the
results returned by Google. Follow the link to the driver page, and
proceed to download the drivers you need. These two methods should make
it easy to locate the drivers you need for your laptop. Good Luck!
