What tasks can you perform in Device Manager?
In Device Manager, you can manage hardware devices on your computer by viewing their status, updating drivers, disabling or enabling devices, and uninstalling hardware. It also allows you to troubleshoot issues by checking for conflicts and viewing device properties. Additionally, you can scan for hardware changes to detect newly connected devices. Overall, Device Manager serves as a central hub for managing and maintaining your system's hardware components.
How do you connect hardware to a computer safely?

A device driver is a low level computer program that allows higher level programs to communicate with a hardware device connected to the computer bus. Device drivers are hardware dependent and specific to an operating system.
Why do you need device drivers?
In order for the computer to use the hardware.
What is the transmission protocol between a computer and a peripheral device?
