Now your Windows 8.1 is ready to be used. But there is perhaps some final details to be resolved.One of the first is to make sure that all your hardware is fully recognized by the new operating system. To do this, you must make sure to install the correct drivers, those who are fully supported by Windows 8.1 and which will help you get the most out of your hardware.
Why is my old hardware is not recognized?
It's always the same problem that comes with each new version of Windows: Microsoft has asked manufacturers to update the drivers for their hardware, but some feel they are too old to still be supported. Besides the fact that Redmond itself operates a small cleaning base drivers, so as not to overload. To verify that your hardware is properly recognized or not, click the help button on theStart button in Windows 8.1 and select the Device Manager feature.

As shown in the capture below against a driver problem varies. First attach to a conflict due to a SATA 6 Gb / s (Marvel 91xx) controllers. Even the hardware is working properly, it does not work at full capacity and its efficiency is in this case equivalent to the SATA 3 Gb / s. To solve it, it's pretty simple: Windows could not find the drivers in its database, so you have to go to the website of the manufacturer of hardware (Marvel) or that of the motherboard (Asus) . Then simply download the drivers dedicated to Windows 8 (no need to be certified 8.1), and then install them.
Will he has another solution?
But what if the drivers are not available on the manufacturer's website? Consider a second example here it is a printer (in our example, Desktjet F2400). From the Device Manager, double-click the unsupported hardware. Then go to the Driver tab and click Update Driver. Above all, do not select the Recher a driver update automatically option. Instead, choose the Find a driver on my computer.Then click the Select function from a list of device drivers on my computer. Windows will then increase its own database drivers via your internet connection. You should therefore make a list of drivers provided much more than the default. And in our case, printer appears indeed. Note that if the exact model of your printer is not listed, you can use a closer model. There is a strong probability that the drivers in question operate perfectly with your own style.
