Next on the list is to see all of the options on the left-hand side of the screen. From start to finish, this is what one should expect to experience when updating a driver using Driver Genius. The Intel Chipset Device Software took a while to extract, however, the installation package was nearly 100MB in size and covered around a dozen different flavors of the windows operating system. This can take anywhere from around a minute or two to several minutes. Once the driver is downloaded and the user installs it, the contents are automatically extracted. Driver Genius shows the number of drivers in said packages, along with their status, download percentage, and file size.Īfter the download is complete, the user can choose which driver to install at their own perusal.
I chose to download both drivers to see what happens. The page contains various details regarding the driver. Clicking the information link at the bottom titled “View driver update details” will open a web page for the selected driver. Even though the device drivers in question aren’t really out of date, we’ll choose to download them regardless of whether or not they will actually be installed later.įrom here, the user can choose to download the drivers individually or all at once. Once the initial scan is completed, the user is then informed what out-of-date drivers have been detected on the system. I would imagine that this is about how long it takes on most other systems, unless there are several dozen additional, non-local devices attached to the computer. Once started, the initial scan of any installed hardware is completed within less than two minutes. If Driver Genius is registered, the “Start Scan” button appears on the main screen. The installation was successful with no issues.Īfter starting Driver Genius, if the program is unregistered, the following screen is shown. It also allows you to backup, restore and uninstall drivers. Supported OS: Windows XP, 2003 Server, Vista, 7, 2008 Server (Supports all Windows 32 and 64 bit versions)ĭriver Genius is an all-in-one device driver manager that searches for the most up-to-date drivers for your computer. It has a lot of options, but they are user friendly and you can make all the choices yourself.
OVERVIEW: Driver Genius was designed with all users in mind, regardless of their experience with computer hardware and software. CONS: This product does occasionally detect a false out-of-date driver, but not nearly as often as other driver software.
