Manually Add Drivers Windows 7

5. Right click the device and then click Update Driver Software. This will open the Update Driver Software dialog as shown in Figure 3.

6. Choose Browse my computer for driver software and provide the path to the driver software that you’ve previously downloaded.

When you provide the path, Windows will load and initialize the drivers immediately. There’s no need to restart the system. You’re finished!

Enjoy!
