Once downloaded and extracted, I can point Device Manager to this driver to install my hardware! As a cool bonus, most of these drivers also lack that bloat-ware found in other packages. I will grab the top driver as it is the most the recent. In the top right, enter your PID value in the search box. In cases where you have multiple device types listed, narrow down your search by also adding in the VID value (or other values in the Hardware ID).Īs you can see in the picture above, my unknown device is a Marvell Wireless adapter.

If you have ever injected updates into your image, you have probably used the Microsoft Update Catalog. With your PID in hand, fire up Internet Explorer and head on over to the Update Catalog. In the picture below, I would copy down PID_2E51 The VID value provides the vendor ID and the PID value provides the Product ID of the device. Each Hardware ID is comprised of some very useful information. If you only have one string, don’t worry – that is also normal. You might notice a few random looking strings here. Under the Device Properties, select the Details tab and scroll down to Hardware IDs. The properties for the device will show that no driver was found. The device will have a yellow alert symbol on it. Unknown and uninstalled devices will be listed under Other. In Windows 8, you can jump straight to device manager by pressing Windows Key + X and then M.

Here is the quickest and cleanest way that I’ve found to install unknown devices on Windows 8 (and 8.1) machines.Īs we begin our driver installation journey, we need to find out some more information about the unknown device. Taking a few pages for our automated hardware installation setup, I began reinstalling the hardware. As in “sad face blue screen of death” kind of bad…Īfter doing a clean install, I was left with quite a few unknown and uninstalled devices. Two installs went perfect! One went very very bad. Over the weekend, I set a personal goal to upgrade all of my personal machines to Windows 8.1.
