What are Xiaomi USB Drivers?

Xiaomi USB drivers are a set of Windows programs that enable your computer to properly detect and communicate with your Xiaomi smartphone over a USB connection. You will need these USB drivers for transferring files to/from your phone over MTP, for flashing the stock firmware using Mi Flash Tool, and also for establishing an ADB or Fastboot connection for flashing a custom recovery, rooting, debugging apps/ROMs, etc.

Generally, your Windows computer (with the latest Windows OS version) would automatically recognize your Xiaomi device and install the required USB drivers for it.
