With a modern OS and any recent hardware if it is a major brand it should install without you having to do much to at least the last time the company bothered to submit to Microsoft a driver to WHQL certify and make available through the windows update service.
This is really only for really old things that you might have sitting around in your attic from ten years ago. For older hardware and lack of any vender actually showing to support at least all related forum, manuals, specs, and software for the rest of time tools like these will probably be very useful if you are looking for Nic chipset or ATA and audio drivers. These tools are no different then what windows update would have done to find matching device drivers only windows has a process to approve WHQL drivers to be available on Windows update. You extract the folder and then using device manager update and specify the folder to install the driver for that specific component. You can manual a single diver at a time and it will download a zip with a bunch of drivers to a folder on your c: that will contain the diver for the device in it and probably a bunch that are not for you also.
Didn't pay for anything or update all but it did manage to find the latest working nforce drivers for a old pc that worked in windows 10 that I couldn't find via search engine as older hardware gets tossed into a 'legacy' section on most vender sites these days if they didn't just stop hosting any support to an old product they consider should no longer be usable by someone who has one but no software for it.
