Windows 10: Dell Laptop: BSODs Everywhere!

Hi all, My parents bought me a shiny Dell Inspiron 14 5482 in August of 2019, for my birthday on the 4th of Jan, I received the laptop and low and behold something was wrong with it, the day after i put a support request in because the WiFi card wasnt working, Later the screen would only work in certain positions, had to get that fixed, later it wiped itself doing an update, had to send it away for a month, now it wont even boot due to bcd issues and i have no idea of what to do. I have had so many problems with this bleeping laptop.

Dell M6400 Laptop - BSOD Installing XP Pro X32

Win 7 works fine, I'm typing on it right now. Wondering if I should actually jump and upgrade. There must be a driver somewhere that I can use to install XP *Wtf :wtf:

Not a particularly productive suggestion. Though I'd never buy a Dell, I have had luck with thier laptops errm... excepting this time, lol.

There should be. Otherwise, you wouldn't have had XP in the first place. Unless you have to absolutely use XP for some older programs that no longer work with 7, I'd suggest you jump the boat and use 7.

Having owned two DELL laptops so far, I know that their OS restore CDs often come with slightly modified drivers to make it work without getting BSOD. For a good example, my Dell XPS M1330, it has vista home premium 32bit. If I use a regular vista 32bit CD, it will get BSOD during install. I have to use DELL's OS restore CD to get it installed.
