There are also several button icons that are not clear what they might be for based on the tiny graphic and lack a hover text to indicate their purpose without the user having to click them by trial and error. People using a 10-inch netbook or Windows tablet may have a few issues (at least the tablet users can pinch to zoom) to resolve the issue.

The processor clock speed, installed RAM memory and the operating system are displayed in the footer of the application window. A green tick indicates that the driver is up to date already. Colorful explanation marks next to the component name will confirm that the driver for that component should be updated.
