After downloading the new driver, proceed with installation. On Windows, use the built-in Device Manager utility to manage your system's devices and drivers. To access it:
Right-click the Start button
Select "Device Manager" from the menu
Locate the device needing the update
Right-click the device and choose "Update driver"

This process helps maintain your system's performance and compatibility with various hardware components.
