    Trusting Windows 7 Drivers

    Hello, Just a quick thought. I have an older computer Running Win 7 Pro. I have not installed one driver on this computer, I've let Windows do its install driver from the internet for everything, even the video card(Evga Nvidia 9400GT), which I've never done before. Scanner, printer, a few PCI cards, built in sound and external devices, it had a driver for everything. How far should I let this go? I'm the kind of person that if it ain't broke don't fix it. What is everyone else's opinion on trusting windows drivers?

    Exactly what you said.
    "I'm the kind of person that if it ain't broke don't fix it."
    Unless you find something specifically that isn't functioning
    on "OLDER" hardware, then I would surely leave it alone.
    New hardware is different for sure. That I would update the drivers.
