Device drivers backup, restoration and update tool for Windows.

Driver Magician is an easy-to-use and powerful tool for device drivers backup, restoration and update in Windows operation system. It identifies all the hardware in the system, extracts their associated drivers from the hard disk and backs them up to a location of your choice.

After one system reboot, your PC will be loaded and running with the required hardware drivers.
