Download and update a driver yourself

It's best to let Windows install device drivers automatically. But if Windows can't find a driver for your device, and the device didn't come with driver software, you can look for a driver on the device manufacturer's website. Driver updates are often available in the support section of such sites.
Once you find the updated driver, follow the installation instructions on the website. Most drivers are self-installing—after you download them, you usually just double-click the file to begin the installation, and then the driver installs itself on you computer.
Some devices have drivers that you need to install yourself. If you download a driver that isn't self-installing, follow these steps:
You must be logged on as an administrator to perform these steps.
1. Click to open Device Manager.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.‌
2. In the list of hardware categories, find the device that you want to update, and then double-click the device name.
3. Click the Driver tab, click Update Driver, and then follow the instructions.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
