Hi guys.

Do any of you know of a free driver update software that does the same kind of thing as Driver Genius?

My Computer is being serviced so i'm reduced to using an old webbook from years ago. It would probably really benefit from a driver update.

Thanks,

Laptop and notebook PCs should only use drivers installed from the manufacturer due to the proprietary nature of each laptop's components.

I wouldn't trust any driver update software. There are too many ways to introduce things you don't want on your PC by using them.

i have yet to see a driver updater that actually works,free or otherwise.this is a good time to get to know your system.ie what chipset do you have? video card? etc. i dont have a problem going to my hardware manufacturers site for updated drivers.ive used both paid and free driver updaters and wouldnt have one on my computer.
