MORE INFORMATION

Dynamic Update works with Windows Update to download critical fixes, and drivers that you need during the setup process. Dynamic Update provides important updates to files that are required by the Setup program, which minimizes difficulties during the installation. Dynamic Update also provides access to device drivers that are not included on the Windows CD-ROM to make sure that the devices that Setup requires work correctly.
