Figure 6-29 Part of a Readme file showing the driver version

Driver or Device? In almost all cases, you should install the device driver

after you install the device. Without the device installed, the driver

installation will not see the device and will give an error screen. The only

exceptions to this rule are USB devices—with these you should always install

the driver first. (The other excellent external connection, Thunderbolt, works

great however you install drivers when you’re in macOS. With Windows? It

totally depends on the hardware manufacturer. Read the documentation.)

Removing the Old Drivers Some cards—and this is especially true with

video cards—require you to remove old drivers of the same type before you

install the new device. To do this, you must first locate the driver in Device

Manager. Right-click the device driver you want to uninstall and select

Uninstall device (see Figure 6-30).
