    Hope everyone here is having a good day. I just bought a used m4600 and it came with windows 7, after upgrading to windows 10, I was experiencing a lot of system delays due to the HD always being utilized.

    I decided to clean install windows 10.

    Now after I have loaded most of the drivers I still have 3 that I need to load but cannot find drivers for it.
    -intel Centrino WiMAX 6250
    -mass storage controller
    -unknown device - probably the freefall sensor.

    I have tried using the dell support site, but since the m4600 is not being tested for windows 10 there are no specific drivers for it. Even tried the command update and system scan on dell website but it doesn't turn up any drivers. It just says my system is up to date.

    Can someone point me in the right directions for what drivers I need to dl and install in what order?

    I've tried searching on here but cannot find an answer.

    Thanks,

    My system specs are
    i7 2760qm
    16gb ram
    320 hd
    fhd screen

    service tag: 2LZ26S1

    For the freefall sensor, grab the Windows 10 driver from the M4800 page, it should work fine.

    i can live without the freefall sensor, its just the mass storage and wimax.

    everything on the laptop works, not sure if i even need these drivers?
