How to install Intel Wi-Fi drivers

Once you have downloaded the respective driver(s), the process to install it is simple. Here are the steps to install an Intel wireless driver:

1. Run the downloaded setup file by double-clicking it.

   The installation wizard will launch.

2. Click Next.

   

3. Agree to the End User License Agreement by checking the box below and then click Install.

   

   The driver will then begin installation and the process should not take more than more than a minute.

4. When done, click Finish.

   

The driver will now be successfully installed, automatically replacing the older version.

Roll Back Driver

If a driver has been updated, Windows still keeps the previous version of the driver just in case. This will be made available in case you decide to roll back to it at a later time.

You may need to go back to the previous version of the driver if you find that the newer one is having issues, or is just not compatible with your setup.

That said, Windows only keeps the last installed version of the driver and discards the rest. You can roll back to the latest version using these steps:

1. Press Windows Key + R keys simultaneously to open the Run Command box.

2. Type in “devmgmt.msc” and press Enter to open the Device Management console.

   

3. Expand the branch of the hardware whose driver you want to roll back.

   

4. Right-click on the device and then click Properties from the context menu.

   

5. Switch to the Driver tab and click Roll Back Driver.

   

6. From the pop-up window, select the reason for rolling back and then click Yes.

   

The window will now close. Give your system a few seconds for the driver to successfully rollback.

Note that you will not be prompted whether the driver has rolled back or not. You can confirm this by checking that the “Roll Back Driver” button has been greyed out in the device’s Properties window. If it has, it means that the rollback was successful.

Proceed to close the Properties window and the Device Management console.

Conclusion

The purpose of the driver is to make the communication between the hardware and software seamless. Therefore, it is always recommended that you install the latest driver available, which includes security patches, bug fixes, and other improvements.
