Where on my computer would I find my drivers name? The one that is used for online videos, I'm having trouble seeing them and someone told me I may need to update them.
Drive vs DriverDefine
driver"A program that controls a device. Every device, whether it be a printer, disk drive, or keyboard, must have a driver program. Many drivers, such as the keyboard driver, come with the operating system. For other devices, you may need to load a new driver when you connect the device to your computer. In DOS systems, drivers are files with a.SYS extension. In Windows environments, drivers often have a.DRV extension.
A driver acts like a translator between the device and programs that use the device. Each device has its own set of specialized commands that only its driver knows. In contrast, most programs access devices by using generic commands. The driver, therefore, accepts generic commands from a program and then translates them into specialized commands for the device."

They perform a variety of different functions ranging from storage to CD and DVD input. Through input and output of different types of data, they give us the flexibility to customize and control the functionality of our computer systems.
Functionality
Computer drives come in many sizes and shapes. They allow the user to input specific types of information to be stored in the computer's memory. Many drives are input-only, meaning they can only read information. Other drives, such as CD and DVD writers, can output information to physical media.
