Note: Use this page as a reference for what the drivers should look like in Device Manager when installed. Drivers can be downloaded from the Dell Support Site.
Notice: See article Drivers and Downloads FAQ for help with identifying Video controllers and other hardware components.
Note: The drivers' installation for Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10 are mostly identical. (Most of the device drivers will be pre-installed during the Windows 8.1 and 10 installation process.) For the best results, we recommend installing the Intel Chipset driver utility first.
