An information handling system includes a device, a driver associated with the device, and a BIOS. The device provides first information associated with a first function and second information associated with a companion application. The BIOS receives the first and second information. The BIOS includes a procedure to implement the first function, but lacks a procedure to implement the second function. The BIOS sends the second input information to the driver. The driver determines that the companion application is instantiated on the information handling system and directs the second information to the companion application, and the driver determines that the companion application is not instantiated on the information handling system, accesses a network to install the companion application, and directs the second information to the companion application.
