New Laptop Please Help! Problem Very Bad!!!

Insert the DVD disc in the DVD drive while the system is on. Restart the system and at the Dell/BIOS splash screen hold down the F12 key. That will bring up a one time boot menu. Select the DVD drive as the Boot Device. you may have to look for a screen that says something like "Hit any key to boot from DVD drive. Hit a key on the keyboard. Continue with the install and when asked about upgrade or Custom Install select Custom. Erase/Delete All partitions and then Create one new partition. Just click Yes to any other dialog boxes that come up.

i think that i found the answer in this forum. i will try to download all the drivers including turbo boost wifi camera graphics adapter etc cuz nothing of these work. i will mark as solved if it is done

How to Boot A Computer from CD or DVD - YouTube

Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 - Be sure to ask back questions so you understand how to do each step. You didn't ask any questions before about these steps so I'm assuming you understand everything.

Do all of your optional and Important Windows Updates before bringing in any drivers from outside. Then any missing in the Device manager can be found on the Dell Support Downloads webpage for your tag number.

No, but I'd like to see how Win8 runs on the Intel surfboard if it's still around

His ram switched to using a single chip probably and then that would me also to single channel and that cpu with HD4000 or hd3000 wont use the single channel memory as shared graphic memory .. so no areo and lousy graphics probably with minimal memory.

thanks to this forum. the drivers worked!!!
(sorry i realized my mistake about downgrading)
