Please tell me why on the official websites of computer manufacturers, in the "download center" section: if you select OS windows 7 - do they offer drivers for a network card, audio, wifi, camera and other drivers that are already built in by default in windows 7?

    1 answer 1

    1) Often in win built "standard" device drivers, suitable not for a specific piece of hardware, but for a "generation" piece of hardware. There were cases that a specific piece of hardware refused to work or worked incorrectly. Again, do not forget that a driver for a specific board can provide enhanced possibilities for its use, compared to a standard driver.

    2) Yes, the set of drivers in win7 + is big and often enough, but it’s worth remembering that there are other operating systems: even at the moment, many people use xp, and we shouldn’t forget about the Linux family.

    • What do you recommend, I have win7 and the device dispenser shows everything properly and the system is working properly. Install drivers separately on a network card, sound, etc. ? - tvset

      If everything suits you in the work of your PC, then why? :) If something does not suit you, then of course you should first of all turn to fresh original drivers - Roman Novoselov
