Using Windows Update (Recommended Method):

3. Navigate to Update & Security.
4. Choose Windows Update on the left side panel.
5. Click Check for Updates. If updates for drivers are available, they should install automatically.
6. Optionally, scroll down and click View optional updates, where you can specifically select and install specific driver updates.

*Manual Driver Update. *For cases where Windows Update did not find updates:

1. Open the Start Menu and type "Device Manager." Select Device Manager in the results.
2. Locate the device you wish to update within the categories shown (such as Display Adapters, Network Adapters, etc.).
3. Right-click the device and choose Update driver.
4. Select Search automatically for updated driver software.

If Windows cannot locate an update, proceed to the device manufacturer's website to obtain the necessary drivers. Keep track of make and model details beforehand to simplify locating suitable drivers. If provided, it's safer to use official tools offered directly through each manufacturer's support page rather than third-party utilities.
