    replaced laptop but used same harddrive, how to find out which drivers to install?

    Is there a program that can scan your laptop and tell you which drivers to install?
    I have lenovo. There is a row of 33 drivers for it that can be installed and they ask you to choose.
    How can you 'scan' the laptop for missing drivers?
    Sorry if this is a really stupid question. (I have tried to turn it off and on again. )

    Look in the Windows Device Manager and see which ones are missing.

    Seems they have a update tool just for that.

    Toshiba has something like that, that works a dream.
    It identifies your hardware and goes out and gets the drivers needed and installs them.
    About 15 year late coming up with that program in my book.
