    So i just reformatted my xps m 1530 and went to the dell site to download the drivers and found like over 35 of them that havn't been installed. My question are all these drivers nessecary? Which drivers do i need, and would most benefit from?

    I helped my dad reformat his dell, and pretty much all the drivers you need should be on microsoft update if I'm not mistaken. Unless your network card won't work in which case you'll need to install the network driver.
