The over-the-top named blog Killer Tech Tips posted a list of “Six Windows Lifesaver Programs That Save You From PC Blunders” they all looked good, but the one that I tried and would totally recommend is DriverMax. This is what KTT has to say about it:
You don’t have a back up of your device drivers. Or your branded computer didn’t come with them. That’s when DriverMax comes in handy.
You can use it to backup installed drivers on your computer which can be later restored when your computer is messed up or when you’ve reinstalled Windows. DriverMax can also update the drivers installed on your computer.
I give it a 5 on 5 for its ease of use. It just does perfectly what it says.
I agree, get it.

this program is ok for backup, but AVOID it for driver update. What they do is upload your drivers to their server when you do backup. When you do update, they’ll send you drivers that they got from someone else’s computer. This is VERY DANGEROUS! You should only use drivers taken from the manufacturer’s website.
Thanks for the info on that aspect of it. I’ll be more careful.
Cheers.
