A driver is basically the software that communicates with the hardware device it is meant to address. Without them, the external components connected with the computer—for example, a mouse or external hard drive—will not work properly. Windows can check automatically whether new drivers are available for your components or not.

To install these updates, open Windows Update in Control Panel; look for updates; and install the recent updates available on your computer.
