• Restart the computer, if prompted. Else, go to the next step.

• Open Device Manager, confirm that the driver is uninstalled or displaying a basic version of the driver (also known as a native driver).

  For example, when uninstalling the Intel HD Graphics driver, the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter should appear instead of the missing driver. If the basic driver is displayed in Device Manager, go to the next step. If the original driver is still listed, repeat steps 2 to 4 until the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter driver is displayed.

• Browse to the location where the downloaded file is saved.

• Double-click the Dell driver installation file.

• Click Extract, and then select a folder to extract the driver files (create a folder and remember the location of that folder.) (Figure 5)
