Driver Booster 13 is the current major release. Each new version mainly expands the driver database, adds support for the latest Windows builds and hardware, and speeds up scanning. Here is what changed and how to upgrade cleanly from an older build.
What's new in Driver Booster 13
IObit's major releases follow a consistent pattern. In version 13 the headline improvements are:
- Bigger verified database — millions more drivers, so more of your devices get matched.
- Latest hardware support — newest GPUs, chipsets, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modules, and peripherals.
- Windows 11 24H2 tuning — full support for the newest Windows feature updates.
- Faster, lighter scans — reduced scan time and lower resource use.
- Improved backup & rollback — more reliable restore points before updates.
- Refined interface — clearer scan results and update flow.
Always grab the current version
Because the value of a driver updater is its database, you almost always want the newest release. The button here points to IObit's official page, which always serves the latest build.

How to upgrade from an older version
Upgrading is painless — you do not need to manually uninstall the old one:
- Download the latest installer from the button above.
- Run it. The setup detects your existing installation and upgrades it in place.
- Your settings, driver backups, and (if you have Pro) your license carry over automatically.
- Run a fresh scan to take advantage of the expanded database.
Your Pro license moves with you
If you own Driver Booster Pro, upgrading to a new version within your licensed period keeps your activation. You do not need a new key.
Should you update every time a new version drops?
For a free-edition user, yes — the newer database means more of your drivers get covered, at no cost. For Pro users, check whether the new major version is included in your current license term. IObit's licenses are usually version- and time-bound, so a brand-new major release may need a renewal to unlock Pro features on it, while the free tier is always available.
FAQ
Is Driver Booster 13 free?

Do I need to uninstall the old version first?
No. The new installer upgrades your existing install and keeps your settings and backups.
Will my old Pro key still work?
Within your license term and the covered version range, yes. A brand-new major version may fall outside an older license and need renewal for Pro features.
