    Hi

    Just got this laptop and Win10 is installed and I can see that in Device Manager
    I have Unknown Device and Base System Device that requires driver installation.
    The CD that came with this laptop lists drivers for m14x r2 & Win7
    So I'm not sure I should use this CD to install anything.

    I'm not familiar with this laptop.
    Does it have touch screen or something special with the mouse pad? when pressing FN+Pause, nothing happens...

    Appreciate your help on finding drivers.

    M11x of any revision is not a touch screen, thank god. No official support from Dell-Alienware for win10 on the m11 series.

    Install the latest IEEE 1394 Firewire drivers, the flash card reader drivers, and the HDD drop sensor drivers. IIRC, none of those had drivers after installing Windows 10.
