First time run for new XPS 8900
Greetings. I just setup my new XPS 8900 with Windows 10. Nothing looks familiar to me, compared to my old WinXP or Vista. Also, there was no software provided, which I assume is normal now. My primary question is, what is being installed by Dell, in the setup process and does anyone have an approx. idea as to the data required for their install? I'm on a limited data plan and can only allow just so much to come in at a time. I did let the computer and Dell do their thing for a while and Network status showed more than 100 MBs had already come in. That's not a lot for someone on unlimited internet but I don't know how much more there is to go. Also, while this is going on, I have found no way to observe or be informed of what is being installed. There may be a bunch of stuff I'll just uninstall later. If anyone can shed some light, I sure would appreciate it. I can't find info. on this anywhere on Dell's site. Thanks, Roy

Hi buck.....:emotion-2:
1. Make sure you have all the latest windows updates by going to Settings and then Update And Security
2. You can view Dell programs and drivers in "Programs And Features" and Device Manager:
a) Right click the Start's button at the left bottom of the page (Or press the windows key and X key at the same time). You'll see Programs And Features and Device Manager.
Please click on the link below, hopefully it helps you get started.

Thanks a bunch. I was feeling like a lost ball in high weeds. I have a better idea of what to expect now, though it may take a couple data cycles. Thanks again and have a good day.
