    Hi all, I installed an SSD into my new AW M17 last night. One of the drivers I can't get to install is the USB3 driver. I'm using the driver disk that came with the machine. When I try to install, I get a message saying that my machine doesn't meet the minimum requirements. I've got most of the other drivers installed as far as I know, and all windows 7 updates applied.
    I'm using the AW Drivers disc that came with the computer..
    Help!!

    If no help arrives here, then contact the seller. If Dell, I'm sure they have a help or support section.

    What happens when you plug in a usb3 device? Does it fall back to usb2 speeds or not work at all?
