I used a DVD / RW optical drive from one of my Computers as an example but this will also apply to say a Graphics Card, at the bottom > uninstall and follow prompts (NOTE only uninstall a Driver if you have a replacement new Driver to install), and Drivers are best installed with all Anti Virus software switched off or in Safe Mode from Desktop.
