Is it worth $29.99 to use a Drive Updating service. I did a 30 day trial with DriverSupport and I was optimized (I feel fine, btw). I do stream a lot so I am considering this. I don't even know if Windows 10 keeps my drivers updated (I think not). Do I need to independently download Driver updates from Microsoft? Looking for opinions, tips, instructions and names of services. Thanks
Is it Worth It?
