Hi David,

Please let us know what laptop you have and what device you need drivers for.

So what OS is it running now? What drivers do you think you need? If you're installing a modern OS, you probably don't need much more than touchpad drivers from HP...

It's been a while since I had to deal with an HP product but IIRC their support page will identify your HP device and offer to download the latest drivers if you don't already have them. These days Windows Update is pretty good about taking care of that for you (if you let it) -- assuming you're running a recent version of Windows.

If you do use the semi-automated way of updating drivers such as letting Windows update for you or have a website like HP do the job then I always do a quick Google search before hand with the new driver number in quotes. It helps to avoid installing drivers that are 1. may conflict with other devices and 2. saves time rolling back to a good working driver. I also have found success using one of the best rated Windows update software tool, more info here. It auto scans your PC and updates to current working drivers.
