    As the tittle says I have preformed a clean install of Windows 10 with all the drives installed and no caution sign by any drivers! If anyone needs them I'm currently updating them to Dropbox

    Bluetooth works - non dell driver
    wifi driver works at full speed! no more 0.5mbps! - had to manually install it through device manager used (have a disk method)
    Nvidia driver GTX 280 341.92 - Windows Update did a good job for once
    Coprocessor driver working! - Thanks to a NBR member (Mandrake) who still had a download link!

    Hi there,
    Any chance of providing me with the link to all the Win10 drivers? You mentioned DropBox?
    Please get back to me.

    Many thanks in advance
    Cheers!

    Hello, what a companion.

    Surfing the web, I realized that you have an identical computer to mine, an alienware m17xR1 .....
    This equipment had it saved already out of use, since a few days ago I gave myself the task of updating the OS to win 10 and using it again, because at the time I bought it, I enjoyed it a lot.

    The detail comes with the drivers, I do not have the right drivers for the team, because on the Dell page, there is only support for win 7 and I would like if you can help me with your driver support you have on your computer.

    I would thank you enough since I started searching for hours on other websites, but nobody supports with the controllers.
