Automatic driver installation is a feature of Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 - Vendors would publish device drivers as Windows updates.
Nonetheless, sometimes you may want to make use of an older driver version instead of the newer driver automatically downloaded by Windows 10.
The solution is quite simple - go to Device Manager to roll back the driver.
1.1.) Install the older driver by running the older driver's installation file.
1.2.) Go to Device Manager, look for the device under the list.

1.4.) Click 'Driver' tab.
1.5.) Click 'Roll Back Driver'.
1.6.) Restart the PC.
1.7.) Go back to Device Manager to check the device's driver, it should rollback to the older version.
