Installing device drivers

Device drivers are programs that contain instructions for the operating system about how to operate or

“drive” a certain piece of hardware. Each hardware component on your computer has its own specific driver.

If you add a component, the operating system must be instructed on how to operate that piece of hardware.

After you install the driver, the operating system can recognize the hardware component and understand

how to use it.

Note: Because drivers are programs, like any other file on your computer, they are susceptible to corruption

and might not perform properly if corruption occurs.

It is not always necessary to download the latest drivers. However, you should download the latest driver for

a component when you notice poor performance from that component or when you added a component.

This action might eliminate the driver as the potential cause of a problem.

Getting the latest drivers from the Web site

You can download and install updated device drivers from the Lenovo Support Web site by doing the

following:

1. Go to

https://support.lenovo.com.

2. Select the entry for your computer and then follow the instructions on the screen to download and install

necessary software.

Getting the latest drivers using Lenovo Vantage

The system update function of Lenovo Vantage helps you keep the software on your computer up-to-date.

Update packages are stored on Lenovo servers and can be downloaded from the Lenovo Support Web site.

Update packages can contain applications, device drivers, UEFI BIOS flashes, or software updates. When

Lenovo Vantage connects to the Lenovo Support Web site, the program automatically recognizes the

following information and determines what updates are available for your computer:

• Machine type and model of your computer

• Installed operating system

• Language of the operating system

Lenovo Vantage then displays a list of update packages and categorizes each update as critical,

recommended, or optional to help you understand the importance. You have complete control of which

updates to download and install. After you select the update packages you want, Lenovo Vantage

automatically downloads and installs the updates.
