Find Driver Laptop

1.The best way to get all our driver laptop is from driver CD that coming along when we buy the laptop. Most all new laptop today already preinstall with OS and driver. Doing back up is smart move in case the laptop need to reformat.

2.If we don’t have the driver CD we can download the driver from manufacturer website. All we need to know is the laptop model or serial number.

3.We also can use driver pack CD like Cobra Driver Pack or Driver Solution Pack. We can download it for free. If the driver we need contain in the CD we can install directly but if the driver not in the CD we can use Installation Via Internet.

4. Other option is use driver update software like Driver Genius, Device Doctor, DriverMax and etc. Most of the software is freeware. This software will search and update driver from the internet.

5. In most cases there is certain driver that hard to find like Unknown driver, PCI devices and Other devices. There problem to hunting down this driver is we don’t know exactly what the meaning of the driver. So here the guide to find these driver.

i. Go to My Computer right click and select Properties. At the Hardware tab click Device Manager. At the mark driver right click and select Properties. Under the Detail tab chose Hardware lds. Write down the Vendor and Device PID number.


ii. Open your browser type this website address pcidatabase.com or just click the name. Fill the vendor and device with our PID number and press enter. Now we got idea what our drivers stand for.

iii. We can use pcidatabase.com not only for unknown driver but instead for other driver. For example to know what vendor our wireless is Broadcom or Atheros and bla bla bla …

Hope this tutorial is helpful.
