Driver integration behavior?

[Tseng]

Hi nuhi,

Not sure if this question has been asked and answered.

How does NTLite driver integration interact with Win10 installation?

Assuming Win10 has built-in driver, but an old version.

Then after integration of a newer version of the driver.

What would happen?

1. Win10 install build-in older driver, then update to newer driver during installation process

2. Win10 just install the newer driver from integration, and ignore the older built-in ones?

Or none of the above?

TIA

Hi Tseng,

It would be #2 in most cases.
It is never #1.
However sometimes it ignores the new driver, probably when the built-in one is newer. In which case you can remove the built-in one and force the integrated one.

Here is a good guide on driver integration.

Thanks nuhi.

How about for driver that does not have WHQL, but digitally certified by vendor (eg. Intel)?

Will they install as WHQL ones?

TIA

Hi Tseng,

there is no difference from updating driver manually with Search within Device Manager.
