    Greetings,

    I'm new in recently bought a AAOD150-1322 in the US. I apologize if this question was already posted but I couldn't find it...anyway, I would like to know how can I determine the current drivers installed in my netbook in order to update them if needed?

    Thanks in advance for you help.

    Go to Start/Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager. Select your device with a right-click then left-click Properties. Browse the details for files and version numbers.

    Thanks for your response Arctic_Eddie. Once I find the curren version of the drivers, if I want to update them I just double click on the file like installing a regular software and the system will replace the driver or do I have to remove he old driver and then install the new one. Thanks again for your response it was very helpful.

    It depends on how the driver is packaged. Within the device driver info windows there is an option to update the driver. I would try that first as it will give you a chance to backtrack in case the new one has a problem. I've not actually done one myself so I don't know the details but that's how I would start.
