How to update drivers? Instructions for "dummies"

Drivers are special configuration files due to which various devices connected to a PC can work. Many people know that they need to be updated periodically. Therefore, it is important to know how to do it right.

If certain elements of computer equipment (webcam, keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc.) do not function correctly, you should think about updating drivers.

Usually guessing whether you need to install new software or not, is not necessary. For example, if problems arise with a sound or video card, various games and programs start to display appropriate messages (stating that some necessary file was not found).
