How to see what drivers need installed and what drivers have errors, on Windows 10 and Windows 7

For novic users, those who do not have much knowledge of How a Windows operating system works, we say briefly, as Drivers are those files that make the connection between hardware components (mouse, monitor, keyboard, DVD, sound, video, etc.) and the Windows Microsoft operating system. Without these drivers, an operating system could not work. We would have no image, sound, we could not connect any external or internal peripheral. Basically everything that is on the motherboard (motherboard) of a PC or laptop needs drivers to be functional with the operating system.

Most drivers are available at download on the websites of the manufacturers of components and systems. Normally, if the X company produces a video plate, she also has to provide drivers for operating systems in use on the market. Here, assuming the periodic updating of drivers for improving performance and new features.
In conclusion, without drivers, the operating system and the hardware components of the PC cannot be made.

There are scenarios in which the user can not realize that a driver is missing from the PC, until he needs to use the respective hardware component. For example, if you have a laptop that you directly use the network cable for Internet connection. It is very possible that you do not realize that the WiFi driver is missing. You will notice its lack when you want to connect to a wireless network. That is why it is good to make sure we have drivers installed for all harware components.
