Check Windows Update for drivers

If Windows Update can't find a driver for your device, try checking the manufacturer's website for a driver or other software for the device. If your device came with a software disc, that disc might contain software needed to make your device work properly, but first check the manufacturer's website for the latest software and drivers.

If you don't find any new software or drivers for your device on the manufacturer's website, try inserting the disc that came with the device, and then follow the instructions for installing the software.

Note

• Many drivers come with software that installs the driver for you (often called a self-installing package), but you might have to install some drivers manually as well. For more information, see Update a driver for hardware that isn't working properly.

If your device still doesn't work properly after trying these suggestions, a driver might not be available for your device. In this case, try contacting the device manufacturer.
