    If Windows doesn't find them:

    You graphics driver (probably Intel HD graphics)
    Your wireless card (Dell WLAN or Intel)
    Your ethernet (Broadcom/Realtek)
    Intel Management Engine
    Intel chipset driver

    But the easiest way is to go to support.dell.com and punch in your service tag.
