    So i received my outlet 15 R2, and of course the OS was on the 1tb instead of the 256MB SSD. After downloading Win 10 ISO via microsofts download tool and using Rufus to create a bootable Win 10, I booted up with the USB and my SSD wasn't recognized in the windows 10 setup. So I flashed to latest Bios and waallla it showed it this time. I used this guide for well, guidance:

    https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B2lwBkWeeTBLS0VVN2RuQ2hDY3M&usp=sharing

    I installed all the drivers, etc. but I read to use the latest Intel drivers for the HD video card from their website (along with going to Geforce Website, and Killer Network website).

    For some reason, I cannot find the drivers on Intel's website. The ones I download give me an error about it not being the right CPU or something. I have the 6820 i7.

    Here are the current driver details in Device Manager:

    Intel HD Graphics 530
    - Driver Date - 10/28/15
    - Driver Version - 20.19.15.4312

    Windows looks fine (albeit the less than bright 15 R2 screen that kinda sucks as everyone knows), but looking at some screens like Device Manager, it is blurry.

    Anyone have a direct link or does one exist?

    You either have to manually install drivers or just stick with Alienware ones. I also had that issue and stuck with official drivers.
