    What components are you looking to update the drivers for? Go to the manufacturer's websites as all the latest drivers should be available there.

    If we're talking about Windows 7, then I've found Microsoft Update very effective - just go into Windows update and choose the option at the bottom to get updates for more products.

    Be careful, I had a program that auto updated the drivers on my pc, (think it was called drivermagician). After installation, I rebooted, and I had no output to monitor.

    It took me two days to rectify.

    Needless to say, first thing I did when fixed, was delete that program!!

    Yeah you have to be careful. Windows update once borked my Ethernet driver, but thankfully rollback worked okay. Otherwise it could've been fun with no network connection.

    Tbh updating drivers manually is the best option imo.
