2 options to update Intel 82579LM Driver
Both methods below work in Windows 10/8/7. You may not have to try both; just browse through the list and take your pick:
- Update your Intel 82579LM driver automatically (Recommended)
- Update your Intel 82579LM driver manually
Option 1: Update your Intel 82579LM driver automatically (Recommended)
If you don’t have the time, patience or computer skills to update the Intel 82579LM driver manually, you can do it automatically with Driver Easy.
Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct drivers for it. You don’t need to know exactly what system your computer is running, you don’t need to risk downloading and installing the wrong driver, and you don’t need to worry about making a mistake when installing. Driver Easy handles it all.
You can update your drivers automatically with either the FREE or the Pro version of Driver Easy. But with the Pro version it takes just 2 steps (and you get full support and a 30-day money back guarantee):
1) Download and install Driver Easy.
2) Run Driver Easy and click Scan Now. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers.
3) Click Update All to automatically download and install the correct version of ALL the drivers that are missing or out of date on your system (this requires the Pro version – you’ll be prompted to upgrade when you click Update All).
You can also click Update to do it for free if you like, but it’s partly manual.
