Scans and updates old drivers
Driver Easy is a driver updater program designed for Windows devices. It scans all available device drivers, reports the ones that are missing or out-of-date, and offers to repair them quickly. The software comes with a clean, beginner-friendly interface that allows you to download all outdated drivers one by one. You can even schedule scans and update drivers manually. This tool is free to download and available for both 32 and 64-bit Windows desktops.
What is Driver Easy?
Driver Easy is a Windows software that helps users detect old or corrupted drivers and offers to repair them. It consumes less than twenty percent CPU and disk space when active and hardly impacts the system’s performance. The software is free to download and works on all Windows devices including Windows 10.
It consists of a library of over 8 million certified drivers, sourced directly from hardware manufacturers. These drivers are thoroughly tested before getting updated on your device so that none of them lead to malicious activity once they’re installed.
The driver updater software runs a scan of your system to find drivers that cause problems or no longer support the system hardware. Once the scan is complete, Driver Easy lists all the available device drivers. You can either update each driver manually or select the automatic function to update all drivers one after another.
Editors' Review
DriverEasy Professional updates and maintains your Windows PC's
drivers automatically with a few easy steps. It scans your PC for
out-of-date, missing, and mismatched drivers and downloads and installs
up-to-date versions safely, thanks to automatic restore points and
driver backups. You can schedule scans, install drivers one by one or
all at once, remove drivers, and more.
Pros
Cheaper than service: For technophobes, DriverEasy is cheaper than a computer technician's hourly rate, and maybe less intimidating, too!
Unplugged devices: DriverEasy can update drivers for devices that may be part of your system but aren't plugged in at the time, like phones and removable drives.
Driver Backup and Driver Restore: The Driver Backup tool creates custom driver backup files that can be saved in folders or ZIP files. The Driver Restore tool uses them to roll back changes, if necessary.
Cons
Out-of-date drivers: A common complaint about driver update utilities is the occasional out-of-date driver, which can happen with a database of more than 3 million drivers (and for reasons beyond the software's scope or control). We recommend always creating restore points and backing up existing drivers in any case.
Bottom Line
Users who don't want to do their own PC maintenance still want to keep their systems clean, safe, and up-to-date. DriverEasy Professional can contribute to that mission for a lot less than a computer tech would charge, simply to look at your PC.
