Dell Driver Setup for XPS 15

[kyle18]

First post here !

I was planning on doing a clean install of Windows on my Dell XPS. I have never reinstalled Windows before. However, I would consider myself pretty knowledgable when it comes to computers.

I have been following this tutorial but I am confused on the Step 5. I visited

Drivers and Downloads | Dell [United States]

and got 54 files but I am clueless which ones I actually need to download and in what order. I also have the Dell Drivers and Utilities Disk but I don't know if I should use that.

Lastly, I have a reinstallation DVD that came with my laptop but it does not have SP1 (I am currently running SP1 now). Should I download it now or just do it through Windows Update?

Hello kyle18, welcome to Seven Forums!


I'm not current on lappy models but if that's a relative new lappy, Windows should have most needed drivers available for the installation during the install process.

Everything you need is in Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7.

Pay special attention to the section about drivers because this is not XP.
