    There is no need to update your drivers. Doing so may cause issues. Only time there is a need for a driver update is to cure a certain issue. Is there anything wrong with your computer?

      No I went from 7 to 10 and everything seems to be ok. What software should I use for free malware and free antivirus.

        Use O&O shutup ten with suggested and somewhat suggested settings enabled.

        Disable windows update, and only enable it once a week to update on your terms not whenever microsoft feels you need an update.

        Uninstall Useless to you windows apps with O&O App buster.

        Ublock Origin to block ads.

        Windows defender is fine, and you can add weekly scans with Malwarebytes.

          Never update your drivers or clean your registry, these are snake oil programs that crap companies use to take money from the ignorant.
