They were installed from 2006-2012 could this be possible? If so can & how do I update them? Appreciate your help.Thank-You so much!!!I would not rush to update your drivers based on any scan.Drivers do not necessarily need to be updated unless you are experiencing an issue that the updated driver purports to resolve.Many times drivers are updated to allow interface with newer hardware and would not benefit older systems.A very strong ditto! Update a driver only if the new one is known tofix a problem you've been having or if it has some new feature thatyou crave. To do it just because a new version exists is looking fortrouble.
