There is a quick and easy way to find the driver version installed on your Windows 10 PC. It is important to have knowledge about the driver version of a specific device such as display adapters, imaging devices, Bluetooth, etc. This way you can determine if the latest version of the driver is installed on your system. If it is not updated, you can download and install it from the manufacturer's official website as many updated versions are released by the manufacturers.
There are three methods you can use to check the version of your device driver on Windows 10 operating system which I have explained below.
1) How to find driver version with start button
1) Click the Windows Start button
2) Type device manager and click on it
3) A list of drivers will appear in the Device Manager window.
4) Click on the device for which you want to check the driver version.
5) Right click on the driver and select ' Properties '
6) Switch to the Driver tab . The driver version can be seen on the third line.
7) After viewing, click ' OK ' or close to exit.
With this method, you can easily find out the current driver version. Apart from that, you can also check other tabs like Details, Resources, etc.

3) Check the device driver with Windows Powershell

3) Press Enter .
