Are you looking for information about Driver Genius Professional?  Are you tired of constantly having to manually install driver after driver on your computer?

(or you can download Driver Genius Professional and try it free right now)

What Is Driver Genius Professional?

Driver Genius Professional is a software program created by Avanquest.  It’s a tool that you install onto your computer.

When you run the program, it scans your computer and collects all information pertaining to your drivers.

As you can see in the image below, there are several options available for users of the professional version.

It then scans the internet for the exact same driver from the manufacturer websites to determine if there are any updates available.

If there are new versions of a driver that you have installed, it will then automatically downloads this driver onto your computer and installs it.

Is It Easy To Use?

I find the software to be pretty easy to use due to the fact that it does almost everything automatically.  You don’t need to access any websites or installers because Driver Genius 10 does everything on it’s own.

That’s what makes this program very useful for computer users that are not comfortable with visiting other websites online and downloading software.

You have the option of backing up your current system drivers, which is highly recommended.  Occasionally, a manufacturer driver may not be as efficient as the previous driver.

If you backed the drivers up, then you can easily restore the computer to it’s original state before the update.

You also have an option to uninstall the drivers.  But when would you ever use this option?  Let me give you an example that I recently faced with one of my computer:

I recently bought a brand new Epson printer.  It replaced my old Lexmark that I had for several years.

It was getting old, the papers were jamming occasionally, and the ink cartridges were becoming difficult to find.

The Epson on the other hand is extremely powerful with a scanner, wireless printing, full color and the whole nine yards.

You get the picture.

Now before I installed the new Epson printer, I used Driver Genius Professional to uninstall the printer drivers from my computer.

I am not interested in creating any conflicts so this is clearly the best solution.

Once uninstalled completely and detached from my computer, it was a complete breeze to install the new Epson.

All I did was hook it up accordingly, insert the CD with the drivers on it and boom.  Printer was installed and ready to go.

How To Get Started With Driver Genius

Driver Genius is actually free to download and scan your computer.  It takes about 30 seconds to set up and then everything else in hand-free.  Click to download and scan your computer for free.

You’ll immediately be prompted asking you where you would like to save the file.  You can save it anywhere on your computer.

Once the software is on your desktop, double-click it and install.  Follow the instructions and click the Next button multiple times until it is finished installing.

Once finished, all you need to do is open the program which will bring up the main interface.  This is where you’ll be presented with several options to do with the program:

  • Do you want to scan your computer?
  • Do you want to scan the internet for any updates?
  • Do you want to view all of the different drivers you currently have installed?
  • Do you want to check Live Update for any recent updates to the program?

All of these options will be available for you in the easy-to-follow interface.

Final Say About the Professional Edition

This is one of the best investments you can make if you want to have a stable computer.

No, it won’t protect you from viruses and other junk like that.

But it will keep your hardware and software running at top speeds which is extremely important for computers.

Microsoft is constantly releasing updates to their software.  You should be updating your drivers as well to get the most out of your computer.

Once you’ve had this program installed, you will no longer need to worry about software glitches or anything of the sort.

You also won’t need to worry about accidentally downloading the wrong driver installer which can wreak havoc on your system.

All of your driver issues will be taken care of when you start to use Driver Genius.

Talk to you soon,

I’m guessing that the professional version is a more advanced version of regular version? Well, it’s like $10 more so I’m assuming it’s better. I just don’t understand why companies make two different versions. Why not give us the best of the best always? Why sell different versions? Oh well, it’s still not that expensive at all so I guess it doesn’t matter.
