Updating programs and drivers
HP recommends that you update your programs and drivers on a regular basis. Updates can resolve issues
and bring new features and options to your computer. For example, older graphics components might not
work well with the most recent gaming software. Without the latest driver, you do not get the most out of
your equipment.
Depending on your operating system, you can use the following methods to update programs and drivers:
● Updating both programs and drivers on page 39
●
Updating programs only on page 39
●
Updating drivers only on page 39
