Where are the hardware drivers discs

Where are the hardware drivers discs

Hi Jaenesha,

I wanted to help but first let me ask you some questions. When you buy your computer, did the supplier give you separate discs?

If none, then which part of your Hard disk drive did you re-formatted? If you know nothing all about these, then kindly follow the below steps:

Scenario A: when you can search the internet from your re-configured computer.

1. Click Start button from the taskbar.

2. From the pop-up menu, find Control Panel and then click.

3. Choose System among the list. Open it.

4. In the System Properties dialog box, click on the flip card tab Hardware.

5. Click Device Manager button.

6. On the Device Manager window, you can see your computer together with all the enabled hardware available.

7. Check on every hardware device by expanding it. Expanding means clicking the +sign to know if the driver of the device is installed or not.

8. If you can see a punctuation mark, it means that the driver of that particular hardware device is not correctly or not yet installed.

As you can see in the attached image, modem driver is correctly installed. But other devices got the question mark icon.

1. You have to take down notes on all devices that have the driver installed and those that do not have.

2. Second thing you should do is check whether a certain device with no driver is on-board or not. (built-in with the motherboard or an interface card inserted on the slots of the motherboard)

3. a.) If the unknown device is on-board, then all you have to do is search for the motherboard driver online. Some sites provide the complete motherboard driver. Other sites also provide drivers of individual devices.

3. b) If the unknown device is a separate Interface card, then you have to check it physically if the name is not displayed in the Device Manager window.

Scenario B: If you cannot connect to the internet through your computer, then take all those notes with you and download all those unknown devices from somewhere else.

Hope this helps.
