DriverMax
What it is
DriverMax scans Windows PCs for devices that may have newer drivers and displays reports on how driver packages performed on other machines. Its catalogue covers more than 2,300,000 devices. Driver matching considers hardware and compatible IDs, driver date, the declared operating system, and performance reports. Before installing a driver, the software archives the existing one and creates a Windows restore point; it can also back up and restore drivers. Driver packages are checked for threats and signatures, and signing status is shown before installation. Scheduled scans are available on both Free and PRO. The Free plan allows two driver installs per day and ten per month; paid plans remove that limit. DriverMax 18 supports Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, and 7 in 32-bit and 64-bit editions, along with corresponding Windows Server editions. Plans include Free and paid options from $4.95/mo. During scans, hardware identifiers leave the PC for driver lookup. Purchases have a 30-day money-back guarantee.
