Usually the drivers are not updated by Windows Update (some are, however). But that may be a good thing, since the driver may have been updated since the last time. After the drivers are installed, both the archive (.exe-file) and the installation files may be removed, but then you would have to download the archive anew should you ever want to install the driver again. These folders then contain the installation files for the drivers. exe-files), if you choose to extract them to their default location, that is. The folder C:\SWTOOLS (and other, for example C:\DRIVERS) will be created by the self-extracting archives that you download from (the.
You can download these files on a different computer than the one that you will install the drivers on, and then transfer them via external harddisk, or similar, to the computer that you want to install them on. Proceed to download all the drivers that you want.
Select the relevant operating system (Windows 7 64-bit or 32-bit) in the pull-down menu. On a computer with internet access, go to, click Laptops, select "ThinkPad T Series laptops" and select "ThinkPad T420" subseries/model, click Go.
