3. Click the driver in the Drivers section to download.
   

   

4. Run the downloaded file and install it in your computer.

This method requires time and computer skills. If it doesn’t work for you, don’t worry. We have other solutions.

   Or click Update All to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out of date on your system (this requires the Pro version – you’ll be prompted to upgrade when you click Update All).
