How to update your drivers with Driver Robot

Updating your drivers with Driver Robot is simple to do.

Here’s how you do it…

Step 1 — Create a system restore point

This step is optional, but I recommended you always create a system restore point before installing new drivers.

That way, if the driver doesn’t work as expected, you can easily restore your previous settings.

Start Driver Robot and click the huge black Start Scan (Recommended) button to scan for driver updates.

The scan shouldn’t take more than a minute or so.

All outdated drivers a selected by default, so if you’re going to only update one, you’ll have to uncheck the others.

I’m going to update my Canon printer driver.

Click Get Drivers.

Driver Robot will now download your new driver.

Click Install to begin.

If the file is zipped, Driver Robot will launch your default zip utility and unpack the files.

(Check out my resources page if you don’t have an unzip utility.)

Driver Robot will now launch the driver’s installer.

Now follow the driver installer’s instructions to install your new driver.

Every installer is different, but it’s usually as simple as clicking “OK” a few times.

After the installation process completes you’ll probably be prompted to restart your computer.

You either can restart it now, or you can update more drivers. It’s up to you.

And that’s it. Done.
