    Question on new windows 7 install


    so i took my dell inspiron 530 and wiped the hard drive clean
    deleting all partitions and installing a clean install of 64-bit windows 7

    everything is running smoothly
    but do i need to somehow get drivers for this dell computer?

    cuz old school me when i built my computers every hardware came with drivers. i made sure each one was installed.
