13 Driver Download Websites Reviewed

Searching for and downloading drivers is very easy

Has a huge selection of hard to find drivers and is good at keeping their driver inventory up to date

Unless you're looking for a rare driver, finding and downloading drivers yourself is very easy

You're forced to register before you can download drivers which involves multiple questions and "sponsored" offer pages

Free accounts are limited in access to the site and to the number of driver downloads that can be made

More costly "Plus" and "Pro" memberships give greater access to driver downloads

Downloading drivers from Download.com is easy: drivers are organized by device type and no registration is required to download drivers, unlike many other driver download websites

Download.com stands out as a driver download website because they've been a trusted source for software downloads for years

A lot of software shows up when looking through the listing of downloadable drivers - probably an attempt to advertise certain programs

Most drivers available for download are for newer hardware. If you need to download drivers for older hardware, you'll probably have to try another driver download website

Finding the driver you want to download is easy and no registration is needed

Like most driver download sites, drivers are organized by type of device

Drivers are downloaded direct from the manufacturer so they should be trustworthy

During my driver download testing, several of the hardware categories had not been recently updated

The newest driver available for download in one category was over six months old

Since the drivers available here are just direct links to drivers on manufacturer sites, we recommend searching for the hardware manufacturer yourself and downloading the most up to date driver

There's no registration required to download drivers from DriversBay.com and like many other driver download sites, the drivers are organized by hardware making them easy to locate

A big plus at DriversBay.com is the wide range of operating systems that they provide drivers for, something most other driver download websites lack

The biggest issue with DriversBay.com is the small selection of drivers

With so few options you may be better off using another driver download website with a bigger driver catalog

It's a breeze to search for drivers by name or DeviceID at DriverPack Solution

You can browse for drivers by device type (network card, webcam, sound card, etc.) or laptop (Sony, Dell, Samsung, etc.)

You don't need a user account in order to get them; just find the version you need and then hit the download button to save it to your computer

Most of them aren't even in an archive format, meaning you can just double-click the file once it's downloaded, and start installing it

The driver download links I tried were not directly from the driver manufacturers. It's not a huge concern but we would feel more comfortable knowing that they were directly from the companies that released the driver

Finding drivers at Soft32.com is easy and no registration is required

Like other driver download sites, it's organized by device and then you look for the actual driver you wish to download

Direct links to drivers at manufacturer websites ensure that you're downloading the latest drivers available

Many of the links to manufacturer sites were either dead, linked to non-driver pages, or even linked to the wrong website

We recommend skipping this driver download site and searching for the hardware manufacturer yourself

No registration is necessary here and drivers are easy to find for download

Like most other driver download sites, DriverZone.com is organized by type of hardware making things easy to find

A big "download" button makes you think you're actually downloading a driver so when you're sometimes linked to a manufacturer's main website, it can be a bit confusing

We also found several download links that went nowhere meaning the drivers available for download here are not kept up to date

No registration is required to download drivers

Navigating around their website is very easy

Most of the driver downloads link directly to the driver file on the manufacturer site so it's hard to tell if you're downloading the latest driver or just an old one that's still available for download. We suggest that you skip this driver download site and search for the hardware manufacturer yourself. That way, you can make sure you're downloading the very latest driver release from the manufacturer.

You don't have to have a user account to use NoDevice.com

The drivers are downloaded directly from the website, which means you don't need to leave NoDevice.com

The drivers are conveniently organized by manufacturer and category.

There's a fake download button on each download page (be sure to use the blue one to get your driver)

You have to confirm you're not a robot before each download, which can be annoying if you're getting several drivers

Since any driver here isn't linked to its manufacturer's website, you can't be 100% sure that it's the latest release

No registration is required at SoftwareDriverDownload.com but the third party download site that hosts their files may require registration before you can download drivers

SoftwareDriverDownload.com has a small driver selection compared to most driver download websites

Unlike most other driver sites, SoftwareDriverDownload.com is difficult to navigate. Drivers are organized by hardware category but the categories are inconveniently listed near the bottom of the page and the driver results are not organized at all. Skip this site unless you're in need for a driver you haven't been able to find somewhere else.

Lots of driver downloads available

Provides three ways to find drivers

It's easy to see if the driver will work on your computer

User registration is not required

Not all drivers show the release date

Nothing good here. Skip this website if you actually want to download drivers.

DriversKit.com does not offer drivers for download. Every page that appears to be a link to a specific driver is really a link to a download of Driver Updater Pro, a software program you have to pay for that downloads and updates drivers for you. Finding and downloading any drivers you might need is a very easy thing to do yourself. You should never have to pay money to download or update drivers.
