Updating Drivers on a Laptop after Reformatting
Hi,
I'm planning on reformatting a friend's computer because it really needs it. I've never reformatted a laptop before, and I before I do it, I was wondering what would be the best way to get a complete list of all the drivers that will need to be updated after reformatting. Does windows have something, or is there a program I could install, or a website that could help me out? any help is much appreciated. (I really hope this is the right place to put this topic, if not, if a mod could move it or something, that'd be great!) |

If you know the make and model you go to the makers' site and they usually have all the latest downloads - it is the proper procedure to install chipset drivers FIRST then audio, video (if the comp has onboard video) and LAN. If the comp has an add-on video card, you have to identify that and download the latest driver for your particular operating system.
Other things too numerous to mention BUT that's a start.
