Updating drivers on Window computers

Okay, you're watching a video and an ad pops up to update your drivers or the ads may say your computer is too slow and needs cleaning. Never click or trust these ads either they want to screw your computer up or ask for money.

The truth is you do not need to spend money to update your drivers just go to windows update and click on custom and let them handle it from there.

You don't need to install all the custom updates just the ones you feel you need .For example if your Netflix player quits working  windows custom update usually has a fix for that.

Custom updates are different from security updates.Custom updates are not considered as  security measures just something extra and improvments on software and drivers.

On most windows computers security updates are automatically installed.  

If you have a laptown that sleeps when the lid is close you should least once a week restart it and usually you will see a prompt saying" Installing updates do not turn off your computer"  The computer will shut down or restart on its own and you may have to be restart more than once.Don't interfer with your computer when it is installing its updates.

Don't spend money on driver updates.

Now sometimes a friend may sell you a product for your computer but had lost the driver install disk . No, worries just go to the product's site enter the product's name and model number and simply follow the instructions.

Note: Without updated antivirus, firewall and updates your computer will have loads of trouble. e.g.  the FBI virus which takes a 1/2 day to get rid of.
