    Hi guys and girls,
    I just received delivery of my brand new XPS 15 9550. Excited to get it up and running.

    I would like to know your opinion/experience on how best to set it up for best performance / bug fixing

    It has shipped with Windows 10 Home and I'm aware of the fact that the anniversary update is coming soon.

    What order should I do things in?

    -driver updates
    -windows updates
    -bios update
    -bug fixes (turning off adaptive brightness etc..)
    -anything else?

    I would recommend starting more threads to be spoonfed, that way you don't need to read the hundreds of pages of knowledge in the threads here.

    Nearly snorted my tea out my nose then.

    jraf, read the posts, it may take some (ok a lot of) time but everything you need is there. I will be doing a UK & US ISO of the anniversary release in a few days if you want to hang on for an easy reinstall.
