Driver update tool free

Driver Easy is a program that updates your Windows drivers. It will backup your computer's files and create a restore point so that you can return it if something goes wrong during installation. It also provides a detailed report of the system information on your computer.

What is Driver Easy?

Driver Easy makes it easy to manage your drivers. It will scan your computer and find out which drivers need to be updated. Then, it will give you the tools to fix them.

Easeware Technologies, which developed it, says it has a huge repository of more than three million device drivers. It can scan your computer offline to determine which drivers are outdated from its extensive directory.

It is a minor presence on the drive. However, Driver easy can take up some startup time if it is left to start up every time the computer boots up. Although it isn't the best, it does have a presence.

Interface and features

The old style is a key feature. Driver Easy is quite user-friendly, despite the lackluster visuals. The Driver Easy app is a single panel that displays all options. It is simple and straightforward in its design. Everything you need to do with driver removal and updating.

A few other useful items are included, such as the hardware information. This tab shows all of your computer's stats. It includes an overview of all system details and a readout of the CPU.

There are some annoying features in the user interface. To access your computer's data, administrator privileges must be granted to the user interface every time you restart it. Another problem is that if you minimize an application, it sometimes returns to the homepage.

How do I use Driver Easy?

Moving on to the main point, DE is easy to use when scanning drivers. It scans for drivers in a matter of minutes and is also CPU-friendly. It also checks all devices connected to the computer. Once it has found them, it will show you the ones that are out of date.

Once you have this, you can now check which drivers are listed along with their version numbers. Once Driver Easy Pro is downloaded, you can update all drivers automatically. You will still need to manually install them without Driver Easy Pro.

Is Driver Easy Safe?

Pro version can create backups for drivers it uninstalls. It also creates an automatic system restore point in the event of a problem caused by the change.

Unfortunately, drivers may not be the OEM issued ones. This means that the files may not always be from the official source. This can be dangerous because third-party drivers could cause havoc on a computer's system.

This can cause further problems as they only offer customer support via email to pro users. They have an FAQ for unpaid users. It is not as safe as Iobit's Driver Booster, which offers greater repair safety.

Pro vs. free

It is difficult to ignore the differences between the two versions. The premium version might not be worth your consideration. It does not have the ability to help your drives.

The free version lacks the same safety features as the Pro. It is also difficult to install a driver on your computer, which defeats its purpose. If you decide to keep the subscription unpaid, it would be smart to search for a manual.

The free version won't give you the greatest utility. Limited-edition often gives you the illusion that you can take actions, such as restoring drivers. This is not possible with the free version, so be aware.

Alternatives

Driver Booster by Iobit is the first competitor. This software is sleeker and more modern. Although it is a little more difficult to use at first, it is almost as simple as the paid version. Driver Easy's free edition offers almost the same utility and features as its paid counterpart.

It takes up more CPU space than Easy's search. Booster, however, finds more files to update and provides a restore point for the unpaid edition.

The OEM is our final comparison. Both programs have extensive databases, but neither can guarantee the original manufacturer's products. These programs will not work with anything other than Windows. Iobit also offers many other applications that can be used with Driver Booster to speed up your computer.

Driver Talent is a great option for offline downloads. It is possible to repair corrupt drivers without requiring a connection. Pre-downloading files is another option that can make the software as unobtrusive and discreet as possible. It requires minimal management. Driver Easy is not distinguished by Slimdriver and its competitors.

Fast but insecure

Driver Easy is a solid program, if you're willing to pay the premium price. It is not the most affordable or the best, but it is still a good choice. It is a strong choice for safety features in the pro version, but the free version does not provide this feature.

The latest editions of the software can run Windows 10, and comes with a new privacy policy.
