    Hello

    Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having query\issues related to Drivers upgrade on multiple computers.

    You can use SCCM to upgrade drivers.

    You need to Create a driver package

    In the Configuration Manager console, go to the Software Library workspace. Expand Operating Systems, and then select the Driver Packages node.

    On the Home tab of the ribbon, in the Create group, select Create Driver Package.

    Specify a descriptive Name for the driver package.

    Enter an optional Comment for the driver package. Use this description to provide information about the contents or the purpose of the driver package.

    In the Path box, specify an empty source folder for the driver package. Each driver package must use a unique folder. This path is required as a network location.

    Hi @lalajee, 

    I find a similar case for your reference. From this case, Microsoft has a kit called Windows Driver Kit (“WDK”) designed to help plan and test installing drivers on Windows operating systems. We can achieve update drivers on existing machine though SCCM with this kit. For more details about how to achieve it, please refer to this link:

     Hi @lalajee, 

    Thanks for your feedback!

    I find another article may can help you. From the article, there are two kinds of device drivers, the ones that you need to run setup.exe and run a complete installation as there are supporting software needed as well. For these drivers running the setup silently will work as an upgrade as well.

    Then we have the kind that is only delivered as an .inf, .cat and .sys files like for instance network drivers. For this type, we can deploy it use PNPutil.exe.

    For more details, please refer to this link:
