NOTE: PCs use software drivers to control peripheral devices. When you add a Plug and Play (ready to use) peripheral, memory or add-in card, the PC automatically loads the correct driver for the device.

NOTE: For peripherals that are not Plug and Play, follow the instructions that came with your peripheral device to load the appropriate driver.
