If you use a PC or Laptop then the hardware inside it will often run off a driver. The drivers can often be set to automatically update or search for new driver updates and inform you but sometimes this does not always work as it should. If you find that you are having an issue with a particular component within your computer, such as your wireless network adaptor then you may wish to check the driver version. You can do this by going in to the control panel, device manager then right clicking on the device. You then select properties and drivers.

This page will tell you what version of the drive is installed and from what date. There is a button to automatically search for driver updates but often this does not find them. Go online and find out what the latest compatible driver is and then download it manually. When you go back in to the properties, there is a place where you can navigate to the driver you have just downloaded to install it.
