DriverUpdate Review

DriverUpdate is a free app for Windows that scans your computer and updates your drivers. Drivers are pieces of programs that are the link between the operating system and hardware in your computer. They instruct hardware on how to function. All the hardware in your PC require a driver to work. In some instances, these drivers might be missing or out of date and that is where DriverUpdate comes in. The system ensures that all the drivers in your PC are in working condition so that no hardware ever fails you.

How Does DriverUpdate Work?

The goal of DriverUpdate is to enhance the speed and stability of your PC, ensuring the drivers are updated. To do that, the app scans your computer and creates a driver profile for all the available drivers. It uses a driver database to create these profiles and tailor them to the specific needs of your computer.

As a user, you can select the drivers you need to update and which to shelf for later. Note that, the profile compares the drivers you have with the latest and most advanced drivers online. You can automate the download process with DriverUpdate. With the push of a button, the app will download the drivers you need and then install them on your PC automatically.

Note that, installing DriverUpdate gives you a chance to install several other available apps from the developer. These are apps to help boost the performance of your computer. You can leave the apps to install, or you can check off the boxes so that you only install DriverUpdate.

DriverUpdate comes as a trial version. You will use it for free until the trial period expires. After that, you will need to upgrade to the premium version of the app.

What makes DriverUpdate unique is that it finds outdated drivers and compares them with new drivers. Besides finding these new drivers, it helps you install them and even removes the outdated drivers. This way, the process saves you time. This is unlike the manual update process where you have to search for individual drivers and update them separately.

Is DriverUpdate a Good App?

DriverUpdate is easy to use. There are no complicated menus or functions on the program. Once you open it, the program shows you exactly what you need to see; the state of your drivers. It will show you notifications when some drivers are outdated and you need to install them. This way, you will never be with a driver that will fail you.

The only problem with this program is that you have to pay after the trial period. There are similar apps that do not require a subscription or even an account, and they perform just fine. The difference is that you will not have intrusive ads with DriverUpdate.

The app has had close to 100,000 downloads and installs from several sites with good reviews. It does not affect the performance of your computer after installation.
