Today I'm going to be showing you how to set-up graphics drivers for your Graphics Card. In this case I'm using an AMD driver for the built-in AMD GPU in this Laptop.
You can install a graphics driver in a number of ways. You can download it straight from the internet, copy from a USB or install it using the disc that comes with the Graphics Card. Using the internet would give you the most up-to-date drivers, but in this case I'm using a USB stick to transfer the data.
Plug the USB stick into the Laptop or Desktop USB port.
In most PC's a prompt will appear that will allow you to access the raw files on the USB by clicking "Open folder to view files". However if this doesn't appear you can find your USB drive in the My Computer folder.
Find the EXE for the graphics drivers. Clicking this will begin the process of installation.
If you don't already have drivers of some kind this pop-up may appear. Click yes.
The EXE file should now being unpacking the files necessary for installation.
Select the appropriate language and click next.
ATI Technologies wants to create its own folder in Program Files. Click yes.
After all the files and folders have been made on your system, this prompt should appear giving you the options for installation. In this case we are installing for the first time, so click Install at the top.
Updating would just update an already installed driver and uninstall would wipe the entire driver from your PC.
Users will now get the option to use express installation or custom installation. In this case we're going to choose express installation for ease. Custom will allow more adept computer users to tune the software how they see fit and enable and disable certain options.
The rest of the process is mostly automatic. You should be ready to play video games soon.
