DriveTheLife:Driver Updater Review

DriveTheLife:Driver Updater Review

Hi, today I am going to review DriveTheLife. DriveTheLife is a free driver update software which offers a pretty simple and easy to use interface for updating system drivers and one even having very basic knowledge about computers could use it without any difficulty. It is very lightweight having size of approx. 8Mb., requires space of 26Mb and consumes around 28 Mb of RAM, which is very low and will not affect performance of your pc in any way.

Initially, it asks to scan and create a Backup before installing a driver in the event something goes wrong with the installation.

Next menu offers you to scan, download and install the driver updates. Before you install a driver, you could compare the new driver version with the currently installed driver and you could also evaluate size of update, which is helpful. The best thing is it's compatible with all versions of Windows(including windows 10) and makes updating drivers simple.

Recommendations by The Infotech Blog:

DriveTheLife is a good software for driver update but I faced some issues while reviewing which will be probably fixed in upcoming update. They are as under:- 
1. I noticed is that the software do not have resume capability and download fails if any interruption occurs during download. I feel it's importance while I am trying to downloading touchpad and display driver having size of around 175 Mb each under poor network condition. My download failed after 100Mb twice, which make me feel that it should have this feature.
2. It should display the issues that will be solved after having update, so that user may understand need and install necessary updates. 
3. Software should have Automatic option too whereby the program scans for required updates automatically download and install necessary drivers without requiring any input from user.

DriveTheLife is still very good and easy to use software but it would be best and highly recommended if it would be able to trace the above issues.
