An information processing apparatus provided with a unit that acquires identification information indicating a function of an external device connected to a connector, a holding unit that holds a device driver to control the external device, and a control unit to control an assignment of the device driver to the external device in accordance with control information. The holding unit holds a generic device driver to perform a process not dependent on the function of the external device. If the control information indicates a first value, the control unit assigns the generic device driver to the external device. If the control information indicates a second value, the control unit determines whether the holding unit holds a device driver compatible with the indicated function. If it is determined that the holding unit does not hold the device driver, the control unit assigns the generic device driver to the external device. |
