How will I know if I have all the drivers, my computer needs to operate correctly

Hi albertogon15,

Information devices are listed in the Device Manager. If there is no fringe on any of the items in the Device Manager, it means that the device driver is working properly.
See what is Device Manager?
See also, get help with Device Manager errors.

You can also check the Windows updates or visit the device/system manufacturer to see if there are updates available for the devices connected to the computer.

    I have a Hp Pavilion Media Center Edition 2002 running. How will I know if I have all the patches and updates, I need? Also is free upgrade to the edition of 2005?

    Hi Philofduluth and thanks for posting.

    There is not a free upgrade for Media Center 2005. If this is something you would like to do, I contact your OEM manufacturer and ask if there is a software upgrade, they can provide you.

    If you have all the updates that are available for your system go to http://update.microsoft.com . Here, you can see all the latest reviews and optional updates that may be available to you and make install.

    I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions.

    I have a Quad core Mac Pro Mid 2010. The article says do not mix of registrants with unsaved. So, how can I know that I have already installed? The system report said just - 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC, nothing else.

    Frank Fitzpatrick

    For the mac Pro 2010, is the question, what SIZE is each DIMM?

    0.5 GB, 1 GB, 2 GB and 4 GB are all unregistered in any case.

    8 GB could go either way - old those who could be saved, is not the ones you bought in recent years.

    16 GB and 32 GB are still recorded.
