Drivers

Drivers are specialized software programs that act as intermediaries between a computer's operating system and hardware devices, such as printers, graphics cards, or network adapters. They enable the operating system to communicate effectively with hardware, translating general commands into specific instructions that the hardware can understand and execute. Without drivers, the hardware wouldn't function properly or may not be recognized by the system. Updating drivers can improve device performance, add new features, or fix issues, ensuring the hardware operates smoothly and reliably within the computer system.
