How to Update and Install Drivers on a DELL Latitude 5420

Updating Drivers on DELL Latitude 5420

• 💻 This video demonstrates two primary methods for updating and installing drivers on a DELL Latitude 5420 laptop.
• ⚙️ The first method involves using Windows Update to automatically find and install available driver updates.

Utilizing Advanced Windows Update Options

• ⚠️ Within Windows Update, navigate to Advanced options and then Additional updates to find specific driver updates.
• 🎯 It's recommended to only select drivers for components that are not functioning correctly, such as USB, audio, or network issues, rather than installing all available updates.

Downloading Drivers from DELL Support Website

• 🌐 The second method is to visit the official DELL Support website for manual driver downloads.
• 🆔 To ensure you get the correct drivers, it's best to enter your Service Tag, typically found on a sticker at the bottom of your device.
• 🖱️ After entering the Service Tag, you can select your operating system (e.g., Windows 11) and then choose specific drivers or opt for automatic detection.

Using DELL SupportAssist for Automatic Updates

• 🛠️ The DELL Support website also offers SupportAssist, a tool that can automatically detect and install missing drivers.
• 🚀 If SupportAssist is not installed, you will be prompted to download and run it for a comprehensive driver scan and update process.
• 📊 The tool scans for a few minutes, categorizes updates as critical or recommended, and allows you to select which ones to download and install.
