Overview
After installing a new operating system onto your PC, the next step is a rather difficult one. You must locate drivers to download and install onto your system.
Most computer manufacturers supply you with a driver disc along with your OS disc. However, if you want updated drivers, then you need to search the internet or the manufacturer’s website.
Now there is a simpler method for finding and downloading the drivers that your computer system needs. Just download a third-party application called the Snappy Driver Installer Lite onto your computer. You don’t need to install this application, so your Windows registries won’t be modified, and extra folders won’t be created.
This version is ideal if your Internet is slow or you don't plan on using the tool to install/update drivers very often. You need to download indexes via the app in order to scan your hardware.
User Interface is Easy to Use
The interface design is simple and minimalistic. Once the tool detects which driver packs are not found on your computer system, it’ll give you a list of these packs right on the window. There is no configuration window to deal with, but there is an Expert Mode that you can activate. This causes visibility settings to turn on.
For example, the application can be modified to show old, new, not installed, or current drivers. You can also have it display invalid entries, duplicate entries, or drivers which are the best for resolving an issue.
Restoration Point Feature
A new system restore point can be created with SDI Lite. This comes in handy if you install a new driver which unexpectedly limits the performance of your system and then you want to revert to the functionality you had before the driver installation occurred.
On the list of installed driver packs, point the mouse cursor to any of the drivers, and you’ll receive detailed information about them. This information includes any newer drivers that are currently available to download. You’ll see the provider’s name, driver version, signature, ID, and release date.
Log Generator
You can generate log files filled with detailed information whenever an action is performed. These could be actions like installing drivers, downloading files, and saving files to a computer. On the interface, choose the necessary button to access them.
Overall, the program is a great tool for finding out which drivers are missing on your computer and downloading them easily from the internet.
