You can manually download the Toshiba drivers from the device manufacturer. Before getting started, you should know clearly your device model or serial number. For example, if you want to download drivers for your Toshiba laptop, you should find the model number and serial number on the bottom case of your laptop as either a printed sticker or cover.

1) Go to Toshiba Support center.

2) Enter the product model or serial number, and select the correct operating system you’re running (in my case I select Windows 10 64 bit).

3) Select the device driver that you want to download, and download the driver package in your computer.

4) Run the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to install drivers for your computer.
