Driver Scanner software

[AJWhite1970]

Morning all

 

I used to have a portable version of a Windows Driver scanner than wasn't riddled with adware and third party "extras" but I can't find it now I need to use it again.

 

Can anyone recommend some software that can be reliably used for said task?

 

Cheers

Is this just to see what drivers a system uses?

I use Driver Grabber to pull drivers off a machine so I can then use them on another of the same make and model. I guess it would also tell you which drivers are installed.

Neat tool - thanks. But I used to have a tool that was run on a windows PC/server and would query the PCI/VEN and then give the links to the latest drivers available and I can't for the life of me find it again now...

Was it one of these?

 

• DriversCloud
  
• Driver Genius
  
• Snappy Driver Installer
  

There are some more alternatives listed here...

It's possible to do that with PowerShell now.
