Laptop built in webcam, need to install a driver to get it to work?

Hi guys, help me out, my knowledge of this stuff is limited.

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T 460. I had a friend of mine wipe the hard drive, install Windows 7 Ultimate and MS Office. (It was virus laden and not worth cleaning.. newer version of windows installed too.. easiest route was to wipe it clean)

He did not install a driver for the built in webcam.. so it isnt working... my question is, is it as simple as going to download.com or some site and installing the correct webcam driver?

What do I have to install to get my webcam to work?

Thanks guys

    You can get the drivers in motherboard driver kit where you can get the setup file for webcam. This will install the driver for webcam and using the software, you can easily access the webcam without any problem.
