Also when connecting a external device (or terminal) to the computer with Windows, the system seeks to install the drivers for its correct functioning, but there are cases where the respective drivers are not found. In such situations, the easiest thing would be to have a disc with drivers necessary for the system or external devices used, but if we do not have the respective drivers, the next option is to look for them online, pe official pages but manufacturers of hardware components which requires those drivers.

  • and browse to the media (or folder) device containing drivers, then click on Next
