About Driver Booster
Driver Booster checks a Windows 10 or 11 PC for old drivers across graphics, audio, USB, network, printer and input devices, then updates them from within the app. Version 14 is current.
It is made by IObit and comes in a free edition and a paid Pro edition. It suits Windows users who would rather not track down drivers on each manufacturer's site, though updating drivers through a third-party tool carries some risk.
