simply check the specifications for your computer, if it's a pre-built, it'll tell you everything you have - then just head to the builder's website, or if drivers can't be found there, check the website for the individual component manufacturers

you could also try CPU-Z is a freeware that gathers information on some of the main devices of your system so you can know what you have .

Frankly, there are some websites that can Automaticly check for updates for your drivers and update them. You should check GOOGLE for "Auto driver" or something in tha territory, but the problem is that these website require money for you to actually get what you need.

I have seen such a site a few weeks ago, AVG free -ads sent me there and I kinda liked it, it really did the job. Look for it, it can help you

I would just go the the manufacturer's website if it is a store bought computer and search for the model number. If it is a more standard DIY then you will need to download them individually.

I don't really know (because I've never used them) if the online driver update tools will work on a comp that has yet to have an original set of drivers installed but its worth a shot if it doesn't cost you anything.

GOOD LUCK
