Where to Get Official ASUS Drivers (and Avoid Fake Ones)

Beginner ASUS Applies to: Windows 7, Windows 10, Windows 11

MyASUS and ASUS's own support site — not a third-party "driver updater" tool.

Before you start: save any open work and note down what you were doing when the problem started — that context helps if you need to search further or ask for help.
  1. Use the MyASUS app if it's installed (search for it in the Start menu) — its update section checks specifically against drivers validated for your exact model.
  2. If it's not installed, go to ASUS's support site directly and search your exact model number, rather than a general download site.
  3. Your exact model number is usually printed on a sticker on the bottom of the machine.
  4. Avoid third-party "driver updater" tools entirely — see our guide on why downloading software from unfamiliar sources is risky, since these frequently bundle unwanted extras and aren't validated for your specific hardware.
  5. Only Device Manager's built-in "Update driver" or ASUS's own tools should be treated as authoritative for your specific configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does MyASUS work on older ASUS laptops?
It's primarily built for newer models — older ASUS laptops may need to rely on the ASUS support site directly for driver downloads instead, since MyASUS availability varies by model age.
Why would ASUS recommend a specific driver instead of the latest one available generically?
ASUS validates drivers specifically against their own hardware configurations, so their recommended version is the one tested to work reliably with your exact model, even when a newer generic release exists.
