Windows 10: Just need a little help getting a ssd and Win 10 cleanly installed!

Finding drivers that way is what I'd normally do (not usually at Dell India, though).

Today, the Dell web site shows me drivers and downloads for the Studio XPS 8100. I guess that the condition that I complained about was temporary. Good. That means I can continue to poke my nose into Dell support issues, even though I haven't owned a Dell PC in nearly 20 years.

 

Seems all questions have been answered but I'm gonna chime in off the replies so far. Since you updated the BIOS check again if it has AHCI. If not stick to RAID. Don't let everyone tell you your computer is to old or its not supported or you need this. My basic early 2013 Dell works like a charm and the insides are all stock. I'm not a crazy dev or anything but I'm a heavy browser user, media viewer/downloader and it always stays "A OK" Sure this newer stuff is great but some stuff just isn't noticeable. Even with phones. Everybody wants to get the newer stuff but my 2 year old kitkat 1gb ram phone still runs great too. Really with a clean, properly organized/tweaked machine even older can run really well these days. The official new update is less than a week away if you want to wait. If you install the preview build make sure you install the patch to go with it. I think since they released a patch to the last update that will be the final public release. Otherwise they would have made a new version 14393.3 or 14393.5 is the latest one. I believe the patch has to be downloaded and installed in offline ways though. I'm not an expert on installing offline

 

I was working for Dell till last year.. Sorry copied the link from India website.. U can also install Dellupdate application which will make easier to check for updates and install drivers.. even if your computer is Out of warranty
