Whether you're more excited about diving "under the hood" of your PC to upgrade it or you'd prefer digging deeper into the friendly graphical wrappings around the Windows operating system, you can't deny that hardware and Windows go together. Without Windows-specific drivers for your favorite hardware, Windows won't recognize it. And, without Windows, your favorite hardware won't get much done. This chapter shows you how Windows configures and controls printers and other types of hardware.
