For guys who often reinstall Windows, you must be able to realize that the reinstallation of OS itself is just a piece of cake comparing with the following more troublesome and time-consuming drivers installation. As a result, most often, a one-stop driver installer/updater always makes things much easier.

Driver Genius (AKA: 驱动精灵) is a professional and prestigious Windows driver all-in-one fast solution (including driver scan, download, update, backup/restore, cleanup, and hardware info gathering & status monitor) from China. It was founded in 1998, has more than 10 years of accumulated drivers library and patented technology, which can intelligently identify your computer hardware, and match the corresponding drivers, then provide quick download & installation. Especially in 2012, it added a revolutionary hardware problem diagnosis function & corresponding algorithms, which made a sharp increase in its hardware recognition ability.

AppNee especially likes Driver Genius’s feature of packaging all drivers into an executable auto installer. That means for the same computer or computers with similar hardware configuration, our driver installation work will become much simpler and faster. In addition, its hardware detection technology not only brings hardware detection results, also provides a practical real-time monitoring function for hardware temperature and battery.

// Prompts //

  • First, for now, there is no serial number for version 16 at all; For version 15, due to the online serial number authentication mechanism Driver Genius adopts, even we can register successfully with some fake keys, its ‘Driver Update’ function still won’t work for us. Hence, for now, our better choice is to use the working portable full registered version 14.
  • In AppNee’s opinion, Driver Genius’s functions have nothing special. In particular, its frequent verification mechanism makes its crack become extremely difficult. As a consequence, it is not worth to do it, because better alternatives are not rare.
