DriverIdentifier

What DriverIdentifier is

DriverIdentifier scans Windows systems for missing or outdated drivers, matches hardware IDs with driver options, and guides users through downloading and installing selected drivers. The workflow includes one-click updating, but you can choose which drivers to download; the support page says updating every listed driver is not always necessary. The site says it links to manufacturer drivers when possible and does not alter the drivers it collects. Its maker says the service has access to more than 27 million device-associated drivers. For a computer without internet access, DriverIdentifier can scan for missing drivers and save the results to a portable file for use on a connected computer. A portable version is also available. Listed systems include Windows 7, Vista, XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003, 2008, and 2008 R2, in 32-bit or 64-bit editions. The software is free. Its license provides it as-is without performance or fitness warranties and says the company is not responsible for damage caused by downloaded drivers.
