Device drivers are a set of software instructions that control the interface between a computer and a connected peripheral device. Device drivers tell your machine what the device is, what the device does, and all the other instructions needed for proper operation. For instance, Windows does not ship with a specific device driver set for all the features in your new Logitech keyboard that has custom buttons.

How does Plug and Play work?
When the computer and system detects a new device attached, an inquiry signal is sent to device requesting ID information. The Plug and Play compatible device responds with its identification code. The system searches for an ID in its device tables that matches the response. if a match is found it loads drivers for that device, tries to perform automatic configuration for the device and make it available for the software applications. If there is no matching device available, depending on the system and version in use, it may display available drivers and ask which to use or it may ask to search the internet or a manufacturers site for drivers or it may ask for the location of drivers on the system or it may declare the device not available.
Why would a computer need device drivers?
Computers work way faster than our minds but they are bigger fools than us. They need to be taught just like a new born baby to carry out their tasks. Now the job of device drivers comes to play. They contain the essential data that is needed by the computer to control or operate that device that has been attached to it. That is why, there is a specific device driver for a specific device because all the devices work differently.
