How to install and configure drivers on Windows

Almost all computer and hardware manufacturers include a group of drivers for different hardware devices and often for each of the supported versions of Windows. For example, the driver CD you receive with your printer likely contains the drivers for dozens of different printers. Not just the printer you purchased, which means when installing the drivers make sure you’re installing the drivers for your printer, not another printer model and that you’re installing it for the version of Windows you’re running on your computer.
