• I would stay away from Method 4 unless you cannot find drivers for your system with HP and Microsoft. Your best bet might be HP Support, then Microsoft may update from there, if needed. I only update through Device Manager if I have downloaded a package and upzip it. – vssher Commented Jan 20, 2020 at 4:53
• Windows recommended approach - Go to Windows Update in Control Panel, check for updates, and then view and install driver updates that are available for your computer.After the first time driver installation,there are not many updates and its quick to identify and install driver updates with this method. – srt111 Commented Jan 20, 2020 at 4:59
• I personally use IOBIT driver booster and DriverEasy. Second one is better but with free version your download speed is limited and there is some manual work during update. So I go with IOBIT and after, I use EasyDriver if need be. Windows update won't get you the manufacturers drivers, always search for right drivers manualy or use tools to help you with that, because exact and up to date drivers mean a lot for PCs overal performance. – Leshy Commented Jan 20, 2020 at 6:55
• Does this answer your question? Should I get all drivers from third-party websites or Windows to do it? – karel Commented Jan 21, 2020 at 2:50

The best method would be to use the Windows update i.e. your method 1, and if you want to install drivers for your pc you should go to advance settings and check the box that says: receive updates for other microsoft products

• Why do you think method 1 is best? – sub1996 Commented Jan 20, 2020 at 11:07
• The drivers are officially recognised by Windows and they are the most stable ones that you can get for your devices. They will also not have any compatibility issues with your devices as well. – Weez Khan Commented Jan 20, 2020 at 11:48
• What about going to hardware manufacturer's website then downloading specific driver for my hardware?Is there can be any compatibility issues? – sub1996 Commented Jan 20, 2020 at 11:54
• 1 You can do that, but it will be time consuming and if you dont know your exact model and type it can be more painstaking. While the windows update will automatically detect your device model and find the best driver for it – Weez Khan Commented Jan 20, 2020 at 12:12
• 1 I often find that the drivers MS offers for video cards are incompatible. Nvidia, for example, often licenses chipsets to other manufacturers. Using drivers other than the OEM driver (Dell, Lenovo, etc) often results in issues – Dave M Commented Jan 20, 2020 at 12:34
