You will now be presented with the option of either a normal or quick install. A quick install will automatically install all necessary files without presenting you with any options. A normal install can be used to choose to un-install drivers or not install particular drivers. |
|
| Choose quick install unless you want to un-install any particular drivers or want to chose particular drivers. After the progress bar shows that the installation is complete, choose the restart option. | |
| OR | Choose normal install if you want to un-install any particular drivers or want to chose particular drivers. |

The 4in1 drivers will automatically detect what drivers you need and will tick or check the boxes corresponding to the necessary drivers. It is recommended that you leave these boxes as they appear, unless you are an advanced user or want to check un-install instead of install. |
