1 Installation overview NOTE: It is recommended that you download and install the device drivers from the Dell Drivers & Downloads website. Installing device drivers from a non-Dell website can cause: • System performance issues • Corrupt operating system files • Blue screen errors • Unexpected shutdown • Infect your computer with malicious software. Device drivers must be updated when you reinstall the operating system using either CD, DVD, USB drive, or when you are facing networking, graphics, sound or other hardware-related problems. If you have performed a factory reset of your Dell computer using the Dell Backup and Recovery application or other factory-reset methods, it is recommended that you install or update device drivers. Doing so ensures that you have the latest device drivers that are installed on your computer and that the devices function optimally. Installing or updating device drivers may lead to the following improvements: • Increase system performance • Patch security risks • Expand compatibility • Fix device issues, and support new features. However, if your computer is operating optimally and there are no driver issues that are listed in Windows Device Manager and Windows is not suggesting urgent or recommended driver updates, driver updates are unnecessary. Updating drivers unnecessarily may create problems. Review the importance of each driver update on the Dell driver downloads page before assessing the need to install an update. 4 Installation overview
