    It should have all the necessary drivers installed, unless you reinstalled the operating system. Otherwise, just go to dell.com, click on support, go to driver downloads, and enter your service tag. It will give you links to download all the drivers specific for your system.

    Best drivers are arguably the 174.31 OEM drivers, or 169.04 custom drivers, both available at laptopvideo2go.com
