Driver Detective 7.1.0.24

Every computer out there needs drivers in order to work properly, so extra care is always recommended when it comes to keeping them up-to-date. And this is precisely the task that Driver Detective aims to assist users with. This application scans a computer in order to detect which drivers need to be updated, while also identifying whether there are issues with the existing drivers and fixing them.

Installing Driver Detective is a breeze and users do not need more than a minute before being able to run the application. The interface is very user friendly and is built around the main scanning function that enables the software analyze the computer and the existing drivers.

The scanning process can take as little as a few seconds, and if the scan results reveal that some of the drivers are outdated, this is the moment when Driver Detective can actually be put to use and download the more recent drivers. However, downloading does not actually occur until a license is purchased.

Additionally, the software can be used to get an overview of the percentage of updated drivers on the PC and the outdated ones, along with the system ones.

One interesting feature of the software is the EZ Migrator, which helps users prepare the computer for the next operating system they intend to install, be it the x86 or the x64 edition.

Assuming a user wants to install Windows Vista and they don’t have the time to search for new drivers for every single piece of hardware they have, the application can automatically download the appropriate Vista drivers and then burn them on a CD for easy installation on the new operating system.

Overall, Driver Detective does indeed help users save a lot of time, and it is especially handy if they do not have the PC skills required to handle drivers. If this is the case, spending some cash on a license can prove to be a long-term investment.
