Installing Device Drivers ----------------------------------------------------------

A compatible device driver is a requirement to ensure correct operation and performance of each component in your computer. Lenovo provides all the drivers you need in your hard disk.

Notes:

Most installations require a reboot to update the driver, otherwise the system’s stability and audio or video may be compromised, or you even have to reinstall the operating system.
