I think it’s no secret to anyone that modern versions of the Windows operating system are a very smart product that tends to do everything for the user. There is nothing wrong with this, but sometimes there can be problems due to such automation. In this article, you will learn how to install and update all the drivers for your PC at once and get the best possible performance.
Before you start
Before moving on to the guide, it’s worth telling a little more about what a driver is.
A driver is a layer (program) between the hardware and the Windows operating system, which tells the system how best to work with the device. Typically, Windows uses generic or legacy hardware drivers that allow the hardware to function but not achieve the device manufacturer’s intended performance.
Let’s do an experiment. Let’s compare the work of CS: Source on a system with and without installed drivers.
As you can see, the result is amazing. In a system without drivers installed, and I mean not only the video card driver, the download speed dropped by more than 6 times, and the difference in FPS is not even worth talking about. Let’s move on to the guide.

There are many third-party software for installing and updating PC drivers, but in most cases they are all of questionable quality or paid. Fortunately, there is a time-tested free solution called Snappy Driver Pack Installer.
Snappy Driver Pack Installer is a free tool for installing and updating drivers from a former Driverpack developer who did not agree with the policy of integrating ads, as well as introducing spyware into the project.
Instruction:
- Download and install the desired version of the software.
- Extract the archive files to any folder.
- Run the file SDI_x64_R2000.exe (64-bit) or SDI_R2201.exe (32-bit). (Preferably on behalf of the administrator).
- We index the equipment.
The program will scan the connected devices to the PC and contact the driver database. After receiving the data, we mark all or only the necessary devices. Click install and wait for the installation to complete. We reboot the PC.

Outcome
That’s all, without paying a single penny and saving a lot of time, we installed and updated all PC drivers at once. Perhaps someone will say that the best option is to always install drivers from the device manufacturer’s website, but the guide was created to save time and this software has never failed the author. Get the most out of your PC!
