In this article, SaDesign will introduce to you the 7 best free driver update software available today. Let's explore!

1. Criteria for choosing Driver update software

When choosing driver update software, we need to consider the following factors:

1.1. Easy to use interface

Not everyone is tech-savvy, so a software with a simple, intuitive interface will make it easy for users to operate, even beginners.

Specific requirements:

· Clear instructions for each update step.      

· Function buttons are arranged reasonably and easy to find.      

· Multiple language options available, including Vietnamese if possible.      

1.2. Automatic scanning and updating

Manually searching for and updating drivers is time-consuming and error-prone. Automatic scanning and updating saves you time and ensures everything is always up to date.

Specific requirements:

· Automatically scan the entire system and detect outdated drivers.      

· Allows automatic installation of new drivers without much intervention.      

· Has the ability to schedule periodic scans.      

1.3. Support driver backup and restore

During the driver update process, errors may sometimes occur that cause the system to operate unstable. The backup and restore feature helps you quickly return the system to normal operating state.

Specific requirements:

· Allows to backup all drivers before updating.      

· Features quick recovery with just a few clicks.      

· Easily select specific drivers to backup or restore.      

1.4. Safety and security

Some driver update software from unknown sources may contain malware or spyware, endangering your system and data.

Specific requirements:

· Software has security certification from reputable organizations.      

· Contains no ads or unwanted software (bloatware).      

· Provide updates from official and trusted sources.      

1.5. Support for multiple operating systems and hardware devices

Every hardware device and operating system version needs its own drivers. A good driver updater software should support a wide range of devices and operating systems.

Specific requirements:

· Compatible with multiple versions of Windows, macOS or Linux (where available).      

· Supports a wide range of hardware such as graphics cards, sound, network, chipsets, etc.      

· Update old drivers for discontinued devices.
