It's certain that every computer needs drivers in order to work. No matter what device you connect to the computer, it needs the driver in order to be recognized by the operating system. Most modern computers have their hardware devices and components automatically detected by the Windows operating system and the drivers for them are automatically installed, either during the Windows installation process or through Windows Update. But things change when you have an older computer. Windows cannot detect devices properly and, as such, cannot provide drivers for them. The only thing left to do in this case is to start Google-ing for them. This is a lengthy and difficult process and may not help you in the end.

DriverBoost Pro is a software that can really help you in finding the right drivers for your devices. That's because it's a Windows application that automatically scans all the devices and hardware components included in the system and allows downloading drivers automatically for them, from its large database. The software is also useful for maintaining up-to-date drivers for your devices. A newer driver can improve the performance of a device and can also add some supplementary features.

Being a Windows application, it's easy to install and use, having a graphical interface. When running the program, the user just has to click on the scanning button. Doing so will allow DriverBoost Pro to scan all the devices and components included in the system and it will soon give the user various information regarding them. This information consists of out-dated drivers, up-to-date drivers and system drivers that shouldn't be changed. By reviewing this information and selecting which device should have its driver updated, the user can quickly obtain the driver from the large program database. DriverBoost Pro can even install the driver for you, completely automatic and transparent.

DriverBoost Pro also has a feature which is useful in case you want to migrate from a Windows version to another. This feature can automatically back up all the driver files on a CD, allowing the user to install them automatically on the new system.

Pros

It can automatically scan all the hardware components and devices and can download the newest drivers for them. Besides that, it can automatically install the downloaded drivers. Furthermore, it allows migrating to a newer operating system much easier, as it can back up all the driver files on a CD.

Cons

The program can only find new drivers but cannot download them without having a registration key. DriverBoost Pro is the perfect solution for automatically updating all your system drivers.
