    When I go to dell's website it says the only update I need is to my network card driver. But once I start to install it it won't let me because I have Windows 7... and it requires windows 8.

    Network
    Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 WiFi Driver

    Yuck.

    You might be able to try the official intel website for the drivers? They might be newer than the dell released ones. but if its working for you I wouldn't worry about it. My killer n1103 is very annoying when updated drivers are used (using generic windows drivers at the moment for stability).

    Is there not an option to select windows 7 64bit? Or is the update not listed there?
