    XPS 15 9550

    I'm trying to do a fresh install of Win 10 Pro. The install seems to go fine but no drivers are installed. That wouldn't be so bad except without a WiFi driver I have no network and can't go to Dell site to install drivers.

    I also can't see how to actually download drivers from Dell. It seems you have to be connected with the laptop to download and install the drivers.

    Is the driver for the network card available anywhere? I went to the Realtec site but the only one I could find would not install.

    Thanks
