I used to use Driver Magician. But it is always recommended to download and install the drivers from your computer's vendor website.

In most cases Windows update/Automatic updates should detect any updated drivers. If you manually search for every hardware installed, you'll get all the drivers.

And just to be safe, if you have System Restore disabled, enable it before installing new drivers, install new driver, reboot, check if everything is fine and you can disable System Restore later on.

Ahhh yep...Driver Magician I remember that one.

@Baku....its not really recommend to download drivers through Windows Update, because theres a chance you'll get not working hardware after the update.
