Device Manager is an app that lists out all the devices, components, and peripherals connected to the computer, both internal and external. It also allows you the option to perform a bunch of functions, and find information about the device. So, let’s understand what the Vendor ID is and how you can find it in the Device Manager.
What is the vendor ID?
Vendor ID is an identifier allotted to the device manufacturer to help track them down for various reasons, including finding the relevant driver. Though, using the Device ID is a quicker and more straightforward approach. If you plan to lookup the Device ID in Windows, the process is pretty much the same as for Vendor ID.
