Snappy Driver Installer is a reliable driver updater that is free and has no limitations.
Snappy Driver Installer is a reliable driver updater that is free and has no limitations, no premium features, no adware, no gotcha.
As soon as it starts for the first time, it suggests downloading indexes and driver packs(archives with drivers). You can download all driver packs(over 12 GB) for offline use or download only indexes(10 MB) in order to see which driver packs you actually need for your current PC. Downloading the whole package is recommended if you want to put it on your USB flash drive or external HDD and use it as a portable tool to install drivers on many PCs. If you want to install drivers only on your PC, you're better off downloading only indexes.
Snappy Driver Installer has an internal torrent client, so you'll be able to download drivers at the top speed. Each time you run Snappy Driver Installer, it checks for updates and you'll be notified when updated software or driver packs become available and you'll be able to download them via the app itself.
PC technicians can enable the expert mode which provides detailed information about drivers in floating tooltips and allows you to choose to install alternative drivers instead of the recommended drivers. It also unlocks other advanced features. For example, it's possible to make a driver backup using the 'Extract to...' button; or remotely troubleshoot driver related problems by asking users to send you snapshots that are created by their copy of Snappy Driver Installer, so that could load it in your copy of Snappy Driver Installer and see what's wrong with their setup.
I've been updating an old Dell with XP o/s. OMG, it's been a headache. I picked a few at once, installed them after the restore point. Not one glitch, only missing one driver, but I can live without it. I've downloaded 5 driver installer tools, only to find that they do not install them freely. Your program was the only one! Thank you for resolving my issues! (Only thing is the pop up windows after each installation is closed so quickly I couldn't read it.) Thanks again!
You need to be careful with this program - it is for advanced users and gives minimal guidance. It's said, it finds good drivers that other programs don't.
Installed advised drivers in order to overcome a problem of Windows 10 not recognizing Drive D (CD), and not only it didn't work but also the configuration of the monitor went completely wrong (too narrow) and I can't put it back. A regrettable decision of installing these drivers. Completely unsatisfied.
