Re: Need help finding drivers for Computer
Tell me, is it the normal pre-made computer or did you order the seperate parts to build your own computer?
Pre-made
Find the model name, model number, and name of driver you are looking for. The name-DELL, INSIGNIA, etc.The number can be found either inside the computer or on the back. 4-6 digits long, sometimes containing letters. If your computer has a series, make sure to note it in case there are several versions of you computer. With all of those, you can find a layout of your computer and what drivers it has on the internet. Once you recognize the missing drivers and their model name (and the S/N might be helpful), search them on the internet and you should be able to find them.
Custom built computer
If you kept the original disks that came with the hardware, you should be able to re-install the hardware from those. If not, look at the model name & number on the piece of hardware you are installing and find the driver from there.
A side note- be patient with it. When I re-installed Windows XP Home Edition, I lost my graphics and sound drivers and couldn't find them for a couple of weeks until someone told me about all of this. And after that, another couple of days.
Good Luck
