Arduino Mega 2560 Driver whereabouts

My computer won't recognize my arduino mega .
Apparently , I need to update its drivers from the control panel ?
I just re-downloaded my arduino IDE to see if the drivers were included or not ?
The latest version 2.1.0
Where are the drivers in it ??
How can solve this issue ???
HELP PLEASE

Hi @anurag_shankar. Please tell us which USB to serial adapter chip your Arduino board has. This is a black chip near the USB socket.

The chip will usually be identified by writing on the top. This might say something like "Atmel MEGA16U2" or "WCH CH340G" or "SILABS CP2102".

Examples:

Microchip ATmega16U2

If it isn't clear, alternatively you can provide the link to where you bought the board from and we'll see if we can determine the chip from the product listing.
