AMD Auto-Detect and Install Tool vs Driver Genius

AMD Auto-Detect and Install Tool checks a Windows PC for compatible AMD Radeon graphics, AMD Ryzen chipsets, and the installed Windows version, then downloads drivers for detected devices. It is free and requires an internet connection. AMD lists support for Windows 11 version 21H2 and later, and Windows 10 64-bit version 1809 and later. When newer drivers are available, users can choose components, customize setup, skip the current driver, or cancel. Driver choices include Recommended versions certified by Microsoft and Optional versions with the latest features and bug fixes. Install modes are Default, Minimal, and Driver Only, and an option enables automatic updates. Factory Reset removes earlier AMD Software Package versions and temporarily pauses Windows Updates; previous drivers cannot be restored afterward. Keep user settings preserves AMD Software settings and profiles for reapplication after the reset. Systems outside the tool's supported scope, including other operating systems or AMD products, are directed to AMD Product Selector for manual driver selection. AMD says it may collect system configuration, hardware, software-version, and installation-log information.

Other included tools are System Cleanup, System Transfer Assistant, SSD Speeder, and System Booster. The current product page lists support for 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11. The Free Edition is priced at free and lists driver backup, restore, offline updates, hardware information, and temperature monitoring; outdated-driver updates are listed for five days.
