NOTE: DriverMax Pro was tested on Windows 8.1 Pro. Before purchasing the full version for $19.90 / €14.35 (without VAT), users may run the demo to test DriverMax's abilities. However, the number of downloads is limited to two drivers.
The app's setup is clean and quick. As far as the interface is concerned, DriverMax opts for a look that blends with the Windows 8 look, including navigation buttons similar to the one of.
The main menu provides access to drive downloads and information, backup and restoration, popular hardware data, settings, and driver scanning. A driver will be downloaded with the click of a button. Although the tool does not provide options in this matter, it is possible to create a pending list with multiple drivers to download. DriverMax can immediately install one or more selected drivers (or all downloaded ones) but not before offering to create system restore points, in order to revert settings if Windows starts experiencing issues after the new changes. A system reboot is necessary to finalize driver installation. Luckily, the app does not automatically do this, so there is no risk of losing unsaved data. Driver backup and restore The application integrates accessible functions for creating backups for drivers and restoring them at any later time for the same reason as previously mentioned: OS compatibility issues.
This method can sometimes be more effective than creating system restore points, since Windows is known to be faulty in its attempt to finalize the task. Another restoration method implies rolling back changes of a driver to an older version.
It allows users to restore just a specific one in an isolated environment that does not affect anything else on the PC. DriverMax also lists system restore points (including the ones prior to the app's installation), but this feature is no different from the Windows restoration center.
