Where Can I Get Free Driver Downloads?






If you have ever installed Windows, then maybe you have noticed that in most cases, there are remaining devices without drivers installed after the Windows installation. These could be a graphic cards, sound cards, wireless adapters, etc. Sometimes, Windows includes drivers for devices, but generally drivers need to be downloaded and installed separately. It is very convenient when we have a CD with the necessary drivers,but what happens in the absence of such a disk? Maybe the easiest way is to find them on the internet, but sometimes it takes a lot of time. That’s why I created the following list and i hope it will make your search more easier.


This is a list of the Support pages from the sites of some hardware manufacturers where you can find drivers for motherboards , graphic cards , notebooks , desktop computers and many other devices. Of course there are many sites, offering wide variety of drivers in the Internet, but the advantage here is that the official producers websites always contain actual information about their products and maybe the most important thing is that you don’t have to register anywhere



LENOVO - includes drivers for desktops,notebooks and servers

DELL – drivers for notebooks, desktops, printers, servers, network devices, etc.You can identify your product by choosing its service tag, model number or select it from the drop down menu. For most products, when you enter your Service Tag you will get a concise list of drivers for your specific product model.

Unfortunately this option is available for VAIO PCs only.
