I have recently performed a clean OS installation and my biggest fear of getting the drivers have been giving me nightmares. The whole process of OS reinstallation seems a waste without having the required drivers, as then the machine will not even connect to internet to get the required drivers automatically. Alas, we have “Driver Magician” which is a life saver.
We at Geekiest are a big fan of Driver Magician, and at every feasible opportunity have updated our readers on (any) on-going promotion to get a copy of Driver Magician (paid version) for free.
