Windows 10 automatically updates most device drivers, but for specific devices or manufacturer-specific drivers, you can manually install them. Use Device Manager to automatically find and install the latest drivers or manually browse and install already downloaded drivers.
If you can’t find the latest drivers through Windows Update or Device Manager, visit the manufacturer’s website to download and install the correct drivers for your device.

[mai mult...]Here’s a basic refresher: A network adapter is a device in your PC that connects to a network—either through Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or another method. In some PCs, a network adapter is a separate card installed in a machine, and in others, it’s built into the hardware. Even so, Windows still considers each adapter as a separate device.
Before locating your MAC address, it’s important to know that different network adapters have their own unique MAC addresses. So if your PC has both an Ethernet port (handled by an Ethernet adapter) and a Wi-Fi connection (handled by a Wi-Fi adapter), each one of those connection methods will have its own MAC address.

[mai mult...]Want to get rid of a partition from your Windows 11 PC so you can reallocate the space to an existing partition or create a new partition? We’ll walk you through multiple ways you can remove Windows 11 partitions.
To remove a partition on Windows 11:
Choose Delete > Delete Volume.
When you delete a partition, Windows erases the contents of that partition and removes the partition from appearing anywhere on your PC. You lose all the content saved on that partition.
In case you don’t already know, a partition basically lets you split your hard disk drive or SSD drive into multiple, independent virtual drives. In this mechanism, each virtual drive is treated as if it’s an actual physical drive. Since deleting the partition removes the partition’s contents, ensure you’ve backed up your important files from it before beginning to remove it.
