    If anyone bought an Alienware 18 recently that is pre-loaded with Windows 10, can you please share the drivers that were preloaded in the drivers folder on your laptop or on the Resource DVD.

    According to the DELL website, they say that they will not post Windows 10 drivers unless they are sure that a Windows 8 driver doesn't work with Windows 10 so I'd rather have the collection of Windows 10 drivers that are pre-loaded on their new systems.

    Certainly not a bad idea, unless they've only pre-installed Windows 8.1 drivers or used the generic ones available from Microsoft.

    The BIOS they came with might be interesting as well, if it's different than the publicly available one.
