What are windows drivers?

You are told by who? Or what?
A driver is software that interfaces between the material
and Windows for printers, scanners, video cards, etc., which have been
written for this version of Windows. And also note that you need
different determinants for a 32-bit version of Windows and a 64-bit
Version.
It is the manufacturer of the hardware to write and
available to download these drivers. Especially if your hardware is
older, it is quite possible that the manufacturer has decided that it is not
a value of his time and effort to develop drivers for the hardware that it is
selling more.
You say that you need updated drivers, but you should not update a driver
unless the new driver resolves an issue you encounter or adds a feature
that you need or want. Update a driver when you do not need a new
the risk of problems.

Question:
I use Photoshop CS5 version 12.1. Photos I take in Camera Raw with my Canon 60 d are visible and can be worked, but those taken with my Canon 70 d are not. What can I do to be able to view and work on Camera Raw photos taken with both cameras? Y at - it a plug-in that I can use that will allow me to display and work on photos of 70 d and my photos of the 60 d? Helpful suggestions are appreciated.
The 70 d has not supported until the Camera Raw version 8.2:
Devices supported by Adobe Camera Raw
PS Camera Raw versions of CS5 ended with 6.7:
Camera Raw plugin and Adobe application compatibility
You have two options: upgrade to at least Photoshop CC or CS6 or get the free DNG Converter to convert your RAWs 70 d DNG for use in CS5. The last option will always require an additional step.
