INSTALLING DRIVERS THROUGH WINDOWS
UPDATE
Windows update is the premier starting point to resolve most common driver issues you might experience immediately after installing windows 10.Simply launch it from Start>Settings>Update and Recovery and click check for updates.Immediately Windows Update will detect your system configuration and download all the appropriate drivers for your system.
INSTALL DRIVERS USING DEVICE MANAGER
If your driver was not detected or installed by windows update, you can try installing the driver manually if you have
a compatible version.Press windows key + XClick Device Manager
Once Driver Manager is open, select the device, right click it and click update driver software.
This will launch update driver software wizard, which present two options.1. Search automatically for updated driver
software-> Its possible windows might have the driver software if you have not checked it yet, if its taking too long, then next option is usually the best.
2. Browse my computer for driver software-> If there is a compatible driver and you already have the driver files, then all you need to do is point to it and windows automatically install it for you.
Here I have selected to use an existing driver, browse to where the driver is located on your computer, whether that is a partition, network share, thumb drive or install disc. Make sure the option to Include subfolder is checked.Click next and wait while the wizard completes the installation.
USING COMPATIBILITY MODE TO RESOLVE DRIVER
PROBLEMSIf both windows update, drivers update proves unsuccessful, the next option is Troubleshoot Compatibility. Troubleshoot Compatibility provides a simple way to make older drivers work under modern versions of windows by making the driver believe that it is being installed on a supported version of windows.First thing you need to do is point where the setup files are located. If you are installing from thumb drive or CD/DVD. Launch fire explorer and open the location where the setup files are stored. Right Click the setup file for the program, this can be designated as setup.exe or something similar. Click Troubleshoot compatibility
This will launch the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter which will
check for issues.
Select the Troubleshoot Program
Depending on the problems you are experiencing when attempting to install or use the software, Check of the problems :-1. The Program worked in earlier version of
windows but won’t install or run now.2. The Program requires additional permissions.Click Next
Select the version of Windows the program is known to work in.Click Next
Proceed to run through the programs setup routine by clicking Test the Program…
Follow the onscreen instructions to install the program as you normally would.
If all successful, click the option at the end of the wizard “ Yes save these settings for this program ”.
Wait while your settings for the program are saved.
Click Close.
