Tech Tip: If you are having trouble deciding which is the right driver, try the Dell Driver Update Utility. It is a software utility which automatically finds and downloads the right driver.
To find the newest driver, you may need to visit the Dell website. Most major device manufacturers update their drivers regularly.
After downloading your new driver, installation is the next step. On Windows, utilize the built-in Device Manager utility to manage this process. This tool provides a comprehensive view of all system-recognized devices and their associated drivers. To complete the installation, a system restart is typically required for the driver update to take effect.
Tech Tip: Driver downloads and updates come in a variety of file formats with different file extensions. For example, you may have downloaded an EXE, INF, ZIP, or SYS file. Each file type has a slighty different installation procedure to follow.
