    Hey Guys, so recently I reinstalled my WHOLE operating system because my computer was too jam-packed with old games,files,downloads,etc, and would overheat (not crash) and lag like the worst dial up you ever experienced.

    ANYWAY!

    I tried to reinstall Windows from a system image I copied on to an external hardrive. Failed miserably and the reinstall crashed, crashing the whole computer. I called Dell and they sent me a new USB OS for Windows Home Premium x64, and now I have this baby up and running again.

    HERE'S THE MAIN POINT.

    I have all the drivers installed from other websites besides Dell (because it keeps saying that the system is incompatible with windows 10, which has nothing to do with the drivers I needed and couldn't have from them)'s, besides the intel chipset driver that I initially needed to go with the Nvidia one. Every version I find online, including the ones that are the new Intel HD graphics ones, keeps giving me the same incompatible message.

    Does anyone know where I can find the original driver, or one that works with the older r2 version of the m11x???
    I'll post my specs below.

    Hi. You need uninstalled Nvidia driver (need restart) and installed intel hd graphics driver first(u can find from Dell site) and M11xr2 can run win 10.

    Use DDU to clear out all gpu drivers. First install Intel driver and then nvidia. Hybrid switch should work.
