I've used DriverHub on many computers. It's free, has a very large database of drivers and works very well. I prefer it to Driver Booster as it has a larger database of drivers. I also sometimes use the free trial version Smart Driver Care, but it only lets you update two drivers a day. As well as that there are some other driver updaters I run on occasion, including Driver Easy. I only use Driver Easy when I get it as a giveaway, as the free version is very limited.
The following is an example of how updating drivers can help. I recently upgraded a Windows 7 laptop to Windows 10, after doing a factory restore of the original Windows 7 installation. After upgrading, soon after booting Windows would become unresponsive for a while, then become responsive again. This would continue indefinitely. I installed DriverHub and let it install a number of the driver updates it found. After rebooting there was no difference. But after running DriverHub again and installing most of the remaining driver updates, Windows 10 worked fine. If I had done a clean install of Windows 10, rather than upgrading, perhaps I would have experienced no issues. But it's also possible that I would have. Anyway, Windows 10 runs fine on that laptop now.
Sometimes updating drivers can fix problems or increase performance. But on the other hand, sometimes updating drivers can cause problems, so it should be done with care. If you have done a clean install of Windows or updated to a new version, driver updaters can be of use to install drivers that Windows can't find and replace generic Microsoft drivers with the proper OEM ones. If you are using the factory install of Windows and haven't updated to a newer version of Windows and aren't having issues with any devices, there's often little need to use such software. You may get better performance, but you should be aware there may be problems.
DriverHub automatically downloads and installs drivers for Windows 8, 10 and 11. It's absolutely free and secure.
