Drivers are mini programs that provide the operating system and applications with access to the physical components of the computer, in other words, to the hardware, the hardware. The driver transforms the commands of the operating system and applications that become clear to specific hardware components of the computer.

The Windows operating system has the ability to download the necessary drivers using the Windows Update service. To do this, you must have an Internet connection, and the operating system will also be authenticated.

The DriverPack Solution is significantly larger than what Microsoft offers for Windows.

An important point is that when using the DriverPack Solution program, there is no need to connect to the Internet. Quite often there are situations when the necessary driver is missing on the computer, for example, for a network card, which is used just for an Internet connection. With a slow Internet, it will take quite a long time to download the full driver package.

• Full – a complete set of drivers that can be burned to a dual-layer DVD disc, or to a flash drive of the appropriate size.

The entire volume of the driver package will have to be downloaded only once. As new versions of drivers are released, they will be loaded automatically.
