However, in terms of performance, the motherboard plays a minor role because that aspect of a computer is primarily due to its component. When it comes to downloading motherboard drivers, there are a couple of ways you can do it. By downloading and installing them, sans defective components, they will ensure that you'll get the most out of your PC.
Let's identify the methods and the steps on how to download motherboard drivers. More often than not, together with the motherboard you purchased comes a corresponding driver disc. If you have got the operating system available for your desktop, simply insert the disc to open its contents.
In most cases, it's going to run automatically, so all you have to do is perform the required actions by the installer. Just in case there is no window pop-up after you inserted the installer, go to My Computer on your desktop or hold the Window key and press E to open the File Explorer. Once you have located the removable disk drive, open it and browse for the installer file.
Afterward, the pop-up you'll encounter is quite self-explanatory, so installing the drivers shouldn't be confusing. If you get an instruction that prompts you to "restart your computer now," you should do it as it will finish the installation after the reboot. The easiest way to access or open this program is by typing "Device Manager" on the Search button located on the taskbar.
Once you open the Device Manager, you'll see all the components of your PC lined up. Look for the "Processors" and click on the arrow on its left side to expand.
Follow the succeeding instructions until you get the prompt that you have installed or updated the driver. If you get a message saying that the driver is already updated to the latest version, close the Device Manager and start using the PC. If the first method didn't get you anywhere, you have to download the motherboard drivers manually on the internet.
You can do that by going to your motherboard's manufacturer website and looking for the installers associated with it. If you're somehow confused about which model you should download, open the Device Manager and confirm the name by clicking the arrow on the Processors tab. Remember or copy the name indicated and then search for the installer on the manufacturer's website.
Once you completed the download sequence, just open and follow the prompts that will appear on your screen. Usually, when we think about getting the latest Windows OS update, it only upgrades the version with occasional add-on programs. However, in most cases, the drivers for our hardware also get any needed update. This method is probably the best one to do if you installed your operating system via an installer disc.
That's because most likely, the OS installer you have is not the latest version available. Jonny Lin Last Updated: 6 months ago.
