Updating driver isn't easy, actually. Sometimes it proves to be a challenging and difficult task that pisses off even more experienced users. But there are few steps you can take to update drivers more easily and pleasurably and also: much faster. In this article I present 3 simple steps you can take to improve your updating driver time and save some nerves at the same time.

1. Locate drivers in driver database Those driver databases can be really tricky, sometimes, 'cause lots of people submit lots of drivers there; and the worst thing -- you can't be sure that the one you're downloading is the right one. But although it's possible for others to trick you, that's not quite common. For this reason it's good to start looking for drivers on one of those sites.

2. Download centers Manufacturer's download center is something similar to driver database but better. In this kind of download center you can be sure that you'll find the latest and most stable driver and also that it's not gonna be a fake installer filled with malware. Download centers are the gems of the Internet and their very easy to find. Just Google.

3. Run vendor's update utility Few manufacturers out there provide their customers with such a tool. And this tool is awesome. So if you happen to own Fujitsu's, HP's or Lenovo's laptop, or if you happen to have Intel's, MSI's or AMD's hardware, just locate those tools and utilize them.

The true power of this kind of tools is that they do everything for their user. You won't have to look for drivers on your own, you won't have to install them, you won't have to wonder if you made the right choice and if everything's gonna be all right in the long run. Just download, run and have a happy morning/afternoon/evening.

The summary To sum up, updating drivers always can be done easier, no matter what your technique is. These three tips I've presented here will surely help you a lot next time you'll be updating your drivers. Just remember to do it on a regular basis, for up-to-date drivers provide the best stability and performance. So keep your Windows up-to-date at all times!
