DRIVE GENIUS UPGRADE DRIVER
Is Driver Genius popular software?ĭriver Genius is not hugely popular software and far from the biggest in its category, but it’s certainly a very well established product with a good presence.

The particular version I tested is 20.0.0.139. Driver Genius has been around for many years (I believe the original version was launched way back in 2002) and is often updated, so they’re up to the 20th version at the time of writing (late 2020). What does the ’20’ in Driver Genius 20 mean?Ģ0 refers to the version number. This very affordable at a normal price of $29.95, and at the time of writing, there’s even a discount to $22.95 (though that’s only for a 1 year license, not for lifetime use). If you’re only looking for driver management software and nothing else, therefore, you can just get the professional version. The difference between Professional and Platinum versions of Driver Genius is that with the Platinum version you also get the System Booster and System Cleanup features, as shown above.

DRIVE GENIUS UPGRADE UPDATE
Like the Driver Update feature, this starts running as soon as you click it and finishes very quickly. As I’ve kept my laptop fairly clean and it’s only a few months old, there wasn’t too much that was found here (mostly Intel driver updates). On my laptop, this was done super fast - within 20 seconds I’d got the result you see above. The second you click on “Driver Update” in the left-hand menu, Driver Genius will do a scan of your drivers and tell you which one’s it thinks are out of date. On the left-hand side of the screen, you can see the primary features of Driver Genius: Driver Update, Driver Backup, Driver Restore, Driver Cleanup, Toolkit and System Optimize.

It is likely that you are not even aware of these files and Large File Search helps you keep tabs on what files are on your hard drive, allowing you to mark and delete the ones you no longer need.Driver Genius is a tool primarily for driver management (backup, restoring, cleaning up and updating drivers), but it also doubles as a general system optimization tool that may be able to speed up your PC if it’s bogged down too much. This could be a large video file that came preloaded on your Mac or some funny email attachment someone sent you.

Powered by DriveSlim® – Large File Search finds very large files that are taking up space on your hard drive. Find Duplicates is powered by the award-winning technology of DriveSlim®. Locates duplicate files and replaces those duplicates with an alias. (Notice to macOS 10.13+ Users: The Repartition feature is not supported on APFS) Unlike traditional methods of backing up, erasing and repartitioning the drive, Drive Genius allows you to expand or shrink partitions without erasing them. Repartition enables you to manage (shrink, expand, shift, delete, hide, reveal or customize) partitions (volumes) on your hard drives. Add, delete, hide, expand or shrink OS X partitions so you can organize your Mac hard drive more efficiently.
