Why Samsung Galaxy S7 Drivers are needed?
Before getting to the guide, let us understand why drivers are necessary. Drivers are software which is essential to establish a connection between a hardware and a software. In our case, drivers are required so that your PC detects your Galaxy S7. And thus, you would be able to access and transfer files on your Galaxy S7 from your PC.
Almost all the new versions of Windows Operating System automatically download the required drivers. But, if you are still facing the problem, you will have to install the drivers manually.
