Everyone likes to keep their computer up to date, especially in elements as important for its safety and proper functioning as the drivers. The most advisable way to keep them updated is to always use your own operating system’s updater, but there are also other alternatives that we found in applications that they can help you.
▸Driver Booster
Considered one of the best free programs to update our drivers, Driver Booster has a very easy to understand and use interface. It shows all our outdated drivers, tells us how outdated they are and offers us to update them with a single click. It is exclusive for Windows, and works in all versions from XP.
In the options of the free version we find the possibility to start the program when starting the computer and to be able to configure it to check the updates periodically. It also has a PRO version in which, for 20 euros, it offers us automatic updates, backup copies and priority for drivers related to gaming, which can be quite interesting for those gamers.
▸Windows update
The safest option to update your drivers if you prefer to wait for Microsoft to analyze them and serve them automatically without having to install anything else, you can always use the classic Windows Update. It will not only update your operating system, but also most of the drivers that you will need so that everything works perfectly, which would be the most combinative since these drivers are checked by experts and if they do not offer any risk, send them for our use.
▸DriverPack Solution
If we want an alternative that does not reserve some of its best features for a paid version, we may be interested in DriverPack Solution. It has an extremely user-friendly interface, it’s open source and uploaded to GitHub, and it’s compatible with all versions of Windows, from XP to Windows 10. It has two versions, and both are free. The first is the Lite with a 2 MB pesto, and the second is the full version, which with 11 GB downloaded via Torrent has everything you need to be able to operate offline.
Graphics card manufacturers such as Intel, nVidia or AMD also have their own driver update programs, while other operating systems such as Mac OS X and GNU / Linux distributions prefer to manage their drivers themselves, so there is no need to install extra applications.
