How to Identify Wireless Card/Device

I feel it is important to write article about this matter since there are lot's of reason for this and i think it is better to explain it in details. Nowadays, many laptop manufacture provide more than 1 wireless driver and ask you to choose base on your specification while there are no information given.

Content:
1. Simple way to Identify your wireless Card Device.
2. Identify your wireless using hardware ID. (Driver not yet installed)

1. Simple way to identify your wireless Card/Device.

(Driver already installed, if you still didn't install the driver look content no 2.)

1. Press windows + R button,  a windows "RUN" utility will open. (all windows OS)
2. To open device manager Type DEVMGMT.MSC and press enter or OK.


3. Device manager will open, look for Network Adapter and expand it.
Note 1: You can see your wireless name appear (red box in the picture).
Note 2: If it marked with yellow means you need to install the driver for it.


4. Right click on it and select properties, you will get more details about your wireless device.


2. Identify your wireless using hardware ID. (Driver not yet installed)


This 1 is simple, but if no drivers installed, you won't see the wireless name but it will list it as "network adapter", network device or else with yellow mark on it.

1. Right click on the network adapter marked with yellow.
2. Select properties - Details and on the drop down menu select hardware ID.

3. Copy the hardware ID and Google it, you will have more than one line, choose any line to search and you will see the result displaying the exact name for your wireless device. Example i use the 3rd line from picture above
4. Now, there are other result that discuss the same hardware ID in details and give the driver version to use for your device.

5. If your manufacture provide 3 different wireless drivers example Intel, atheros and broadcom, you can use this method to determine which to download and install.

ATI Mobility Radeon X600SE and X700 Driver Windows 7

There are several ways to install ATI Mobility Radeon X600SE and X700 on windows 7. Here i will show how to install it using Microsoft update catalog. (you can also skip this manual step by turn on your windows automatic updates and install the available updates from Microsoft updates).

STEP 1 : Drivers Download

1. Open http://catalog.update.microsoft.com Using Internet Explorer. Other browser will not work.

2. Type X600 or X700 on the search box, you will get results, select the drivers to download by click add and then proceed by clicking view basket.


3. After click view basket, you need to select the download the location. For this tutorial I select desktop. then click continue to start download.


4.Wait until the download finish.


5. Open the folder we download and extract the driver file using Winrar (or archieve compress software). I download all 3 drivers available for windows 7 and i get 2 folder. The reason is we don;t know which contain 32-bit drivers and which contain 64-bit driver. After download you can see the file name. File with x64 means for 64-bit and x86 means for 32-bit.



STEP 2: DRIVER INSTALLATION

1. Open device manager by click start and on the search box type DEVMGMT.MSC


3. A device manager will open, right click on standard VGA and select update driver.



4. Select Browse my computer for driver Software.



5. Click Browse and point to the driver folder we extarct earlier. Remember to check include sub-folder. Select the folder base on your operating system (32 or 64-bit).


6. Continue with on-screen installation by lcik next and wait until the installation finish and then reboot.

If you have problems and suggestion do let me know.

You can install webcam, card reader, fingerprint, Bluetooth, youcam, touchpad and fingerprint using your original windows 7 driver. All you need to do is right click at the driver file and select properties. Then select compatibility - run this program in compatibility mode for - select "windows 7" from the list.


2. Intel HD Graphic : This model use either Intel or Nvidia graphic, the good news Nvidia released support for windows 8 and 8.1, while Intel did not (for Intel HD 1st generation). That is why you need to install either in compatibility mode or use the MOD driver develop by users like you (non-profit individual).

Drivers for windows 8?,
Lenovo only release for windows XP and 7, so where did i get the windows 8 drivers?

I download each and every single drivers, look at the information, download available version for windows 8 and compare. I did some research with compatibility issue, look at newest vendor and part site for any update for windows 8, it takes about 2 days to complete the list. So i hope if there any comment or feedback to improvise do let me know by leaving your comments below. Thanks. Base on my experience, windows 8 will installed most of the drivers, so you just need to check which driver you need and install them It is not necessary to install all driver if you know which functionality is missing such as audio or networking.

WINDOWS 10 DRIVERS
Lenovo released an official application to update your system for Windows 10. You jest need to download the Thinkvantage system Update utility here:
http://support.lenovo.com/my/ms/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-b-series-laptops/lenovo-b560-notebook

So fat the problem with this notebook after upgrade was the Elan Touchpad which I will cover it on this post. If you want to get the individual file for eaach driver and want to install it manually, you need to get it from the device manufacturer website. To make it easy below is the list for the download link:

IMportant: If your drivers working properly, you doesn't need to install any drivers, just download which is missing, if your audio is not working just download audio and install it.

Chipset:
Automatically installed, if you want to get the latest drivers just use this tools: Automatic detection, don;t worry this tools is free and officially from Intel.

MEI : Download (from lenovo for 32/64-bit)
Storage : Automatic
Turbo Boost: Just use power plan setting in Windows 10

Audio: 
Official release from Relatek : Download Link
Note : from the list select High definition Audio codec and on the next page select agree to the term and condition.

Graphic:
Nvidia :  Download 32-bit | Download 64-bit
Intel : Auotmatically installed

Other drivers:
Just use Windows 8 or Windows 7 drivers I postwed above and install in compatibility mode for Windows 7 or 8.

Touchpad issue:
Do not let automatic update install the touchpad or it will cause it unstable. The other thing you can do is download and install driver released by lenovo here:
