The Driver Maximizer software by SolidTech (Solidtechies.com) is deemed as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP). The Driver Maximizer program is promoted as a system tool that helps PC users install the latest drivers for their hardware. The Driver Maximizer application can be found in the company of free programs, but it is licensed as shareware. You can install a trial copy of the Driver Maximizer and perform free system scans for up to 30 days. If you want to install drivers updates through the Driver Maximizer by SolidTech, you will need to buy a commercial license for one or two years.

You may want to reconsider buying the Driver Maximizer software if you are using Windows 10, 8.1 and 7. The latest versions of Windows can detect newly installed hardware and install safe and stable drivers for most devices from the manufacturer's site directly. Also, the Device manager instrument in Windows 10 and 8.1 has a driver rollback feature that allows you to re-install the last working driver if a new update fails to install. Computer experts note that installing drivers from third-party applications like the Driver Maximizer is not advisable as the content downloaded via the Driver Maximizer may include unwanted applications and trial software created by partners of SolidTech. It is best to go to your hardware manufacturer's site and download the updates from there and benefit from the integrated update utility on Windows 10. The trial version of the Driver Maximizer may be used to deliver targeted promotional materials to your screen based on your recent activity on the Internet and installed software.
