I recently "restarted" my PC to Factory, meaning everything got whiped, this meaning that my CPU drivers also got removed or something.

When i go to my device manager and check for updates, it says it has the latest driver update, but that update is from 2009.
I'm having a AMD A10-6800K APU.
Cosidering this APU came out on the market in 2013, i feel like something is wrong?

So basicly what i want to answer some of you smart people is
How do i find the most recent driver???
I've written to AMD but i havent gotten an answer after 3 weeks, so i kinda gave up on that. I might just write a new one soon but i'd ask here first since you guys are so smart and are super quick to answer :)

I know my APU is garbage but im not in a position to upgrade both CPU Motherboard and GPU at this moment so i'd like to get the most out of my processor till that is possible for me. Hope you understand :)



- For the lazy people;
I cant download recent drivers for my APU (AMD A10-6800k) - The most recent is 2009 and the APU was introduced in 2013. I tried just downloading it, i have AMD catalyst control center downloaded also.

If it's a laptop, download the drivers only from the laptop manufacturer for your model. Otherwise, download the latest drivers for your OS from the graphics card/motherboard manufacturer.

the cpu needs no driver to be downloaded, that is why you could install the os without the driver, or there is a driver, released by amd but you don't really install and use, it is a driver that no one ever updates or ask for it

the rest, the apu, the gpu in it, requires crimson driver, visit amd and search for it

it has the hd8670d gpu in it, that is the only driver you need, and windows 10 surely will install it for you

if current crimson driver from amd doesn't cover that gpu, you can use the old amd catalyst version and keep saving some money to get a ryzen mainboard and cpu, and a gpu for it too
