Right-click on the device and select Update driver from the context menu.
In the next window, choose: Browse my computer for driver software
Click on the Browse button and navigate to the location where you saved the downloaded driver files. Select the appropriate driver file and click OK. Then, click Next to begin the installation process.
After the installation is complete, you may be prompted to restart your computer for the changes to take effect. Save any open work and click Yes to restart your device.
