Hi there, I was trying to fix a problem or two on my notebook when I saw a link to a site called Laptopvideo2go.com that can scan your comp and gives you connections to update your drives that it alerts you are outdated or bad. It said I had a few bad drives and needed to update them, only problem is to do so there you need to pay.
I was wondering if there are any free sites that will scan a comp and give you the proper links to update the drivers.

The issue with notebooks is customization.
Notebook components (especially GPU's) are not your standard off-the-shelf hardware components that any old driver will work for.
For example, if you have a 7950GTX 512 notebook GPU, chances are you have a Sager or Clevo notebook - and the standard Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia driver page do not support the 7950GTX.
You need the current video drivers from the Sager/Clevo support site, or drivers from notebook enthusiasts that produce their own custom drivers.
Therefore, i'm not sure a typical "driver scan" 3rd party program will be able to accurately identify and/or suggest upgrades for your notebook.
What brand/model notebook are you using?
That might help.

Windows Update
But usually the best way to go is the Notebook Manufacturer's support page.
I always check for windows update so that's not a problem.
As for going to the manufacturer's support page, I've found getting help there not so easy as one might imagine or expect.
