Getting drivers from the manufacture's site

The best place to download divers is the hardware manufacturer’s website, the manufacturer’s site is almost always the original source of any drivers and drivers downloaded from there will be the most tested and up to date ones.
Here are how to get drivers from the manufacturer’s site step by step:
1. Identify the make and model of the specific hardware you need drivers for. You'll need this information so you know what company to contact and then what specific drivers to download from their website.
Note: If you're trying to find dell drivers for a dell desktop or asus motherboard drivers for a asus motherboard, all you need are the exact model number of the complete system and motherboard card.
2. Find the hardware manufacturer's support website. Nearly every hardware manufacturer in the world has a website with detailed support information including driver downloads, manuals, troubleshooting information, etc.
3. Locate the driver download area of the manufacturer's support site.
Note: The driver download area could be called by any of several different names including "Downloads", "Software Downloads", "Driver Downloads", "Drivers", "Drivers and Firmware", "Drivers and Software", etc. If you visit a website's home page, look for a "Support" area first. Any driver download options will probably be located within that area of the website.
4. Using the website's navigation or search abilities, choose the specific hardware you need drivers for.
Note: Every website is different so its hard to give precise instructions on how to navigate through a catalog of driver downloads but most support sites that I've seen are fairly easy to use. If you have trouble finding your way around a specific website, your best bet is to contact the company directly.
5. Download the drivers to your computer. Save the downloaded file to your desktop or to another familiar location.
Note: Many drivers available today are configured for automatic installation. This means that all you have to do is run the downloaded file and the drivers will be updated automatically. The instructions given on the manufacturer's website should tell you if the drivers you're downloading are configured this way. If so, there's no reason to continue with these steps.
6. Extract the downloaded drivers. Instructions provided on the driver download page on the hardware manufacturer's website should provide detailed instructions on extracting the drivers.
Note: Usually this involves uncompressing the many driver files located in the compressed file you downloaded. Most compressed files have a ZIP or RAR file extension. Sometimes the compressed files are in a self-extracting format with an EXE file extension, making the process very easy.
7. The downloaded drivers for your hardware are now ready for updating in Device Manager.
