The Samsung USB Drivers need to be running on a computer that wants to connect a Samsung smartphone or tablet to the computer and transfer data from one device to the other. The data people ought to transfer includes files such as mp3 files, messages, pictures, video files, settings, your phone contacts and anything else that uses apps on the computer like flashing a stock ROM. That means anyone who is planning on connecting the Samsung device to the Windows computer and using the Odin flashing tool for installing a stock ROM will need to install the Samsung USB Drivers found in this guide before you can expect to locate the device being able to be detected by the Odin flashing application. The Odin app is not just limited to stock ROMs and firmware either. You might want to root a device or install a custom recovery using the Odin flashing application too. All of those things will need the drivers working before any of it can happen.

These are the instructions to install the Samsung USB Drivers on your computer running any version of Windows operating systems. You can expect the drivers to work universally, meaning they will work for every Samsung device you want to connect to the Windows computer to transfer data.
