Thoughts on DriverIdentifier
It’s probably one of the simplest driver updater programs out there. There’s similar software that’s also pretty simple to use, but definitely not this easy. The program is very lightweight and has zero settings. You just need to open it and click one button to get started. Aside from the lack of relatively common features like scheduled scans and the requirement of a user account to get the drivers, DriverIdentifier also makes you take a few additional steps to get a download started than you would have to take if you used similar, more advanced software, like Driver Booster. To download drivers, you’re taken to a web page that has a list of download links. If you’re not 100 percent sure what you’re looking for, you could very easily download the wrong driver and possibly cause problems with your computer. However, a feature you’ll find with DriverIdentifier that is not present in most other driver updater tools is an offline scanner. Just tick the checkmark called I do not have internet connection to force the program to save the results to a file that you can then open on a computer that does have access to the internet. This is a very useful feature that could help you out a lot if you’re in a situation where the computer you need the drivers installed on doesn’t have access to the internet.
