Find drivers for unknown devices
Have you ever been given a computer, or bought an old fixer upper PC that didn’t have all the discs or information for the components?
I know this is frustrating since I too have had this problem. Especially when it involves key equipment (Network card). There is nothing more irritating then looking at your device list and seeing the yellow question mark.

So how does this work?
You will want to go to the question mark in the device manager and right click on the entry (there maybe more then one on a reimage or a custom built machine). For those that may not be familiar on how to get to the device manager here are some simple steps. Find the My Computer icon on your desktop (upper left by default). You will want to Right click on the icon and you will get a menu like this:
After you left click on the properties entry a new window will pop up:
If you do not have the tab shown, you will want to click on the Hardware tab. Once here, click on the device manager and you will see a list of installed devices. You will scroll down for the yellow question mark. In my example there are none, but I am sure you will find them rather quickly.
