Plug and Play

Plug and Play (PnP) is a technology that allows computer hardware devices—like printers, keyboards, or external drives—to be automatically recognized and configured by the computer when connected. When you plug in a PnP device, the computer detects it, installs the necessary drivers (software that helps it communicate), and makes it ready to use without requiring manual setup. This simplifies adding new hardware, saving time and reducing technical hassle, by seamlessly integrating devices into your system with minimal user intervention.
