  Hello

  I am buying a Dell XPS 8700 with a SATA hard drive with a 32 GB SSD cache. I want to know if the SSD is a separate physical disk SATA hard disk, it will be the M.SATA chip on the motherboard.

  Please it is confirmed; I can by adding a larger 256 GB internal SSD, with the o/s re installed on the SSD with HDD as storage of 2 TB.

  Yes, it's an mSATA SSD and scalable. You have the option to install the OS on a bigger mSATA SSD if you choose to do.

• Upgrade SSD for Dell XPS 15 9550

  Hello

  I have Dell XPS 9550 with configuration 32 GB SSD + 500 GB HARD disk. I want to upgrade SSD for more space avaliablity.

  But I don't know what type of SSD, I'll need to buy. Also, I read XPS 15 to repair. There are two chapter for the removal and replacement of the SSD in the maintenance manual. First chapter of half-length SSD, second chapter SSD full length.

  What type of SSD is mounted in my laptop? Half or full length?

  How can I identify necessary SSD for me in stores (dimensions, label, etc.)?

  What interface for SSD do I need?  PCIE or SATA?

  What is the map? M2.2280 or PCI-E AIC (-expansion card)?

  Thanks in advance!

  These are all numbers of Dell and descriptions.

  The system uses a PCIe (or is if you want a faster player), 2280 m2 or small size.  UNLESS you buy directly from Dell, it is best NOT to buy versions OEM of SSD (Samsung end pieces in a '1' vs '0' for details).

  OEM spare parts are usually not compatible to end-users by the manufacturer.

  Because you will probably install the operating system for the new SSD, don't forget to make a recovery media set, you need to load the operating system on the larger capacity disk - what you have now is just a cache for the main hard drive.

• Dell XPS 8500 with 1 GB AMD Radeon HD 7570 - how to connect two monitors or?

  Hi, I got my Dell XPS 8500 today with the 1 GB AMD Radeon HD 7570.

  Before buying the office, I read online that the AMD Radeon HD 7570 supports Eyefinity.   Eyefinity is supposed to be capable of supporting 4 monitors using the HD 7570 map by the description here: http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/7000/7570/Pages/radeon-7570.aspx#2

  When you look at the photos of the Dell XPS 8500 online I thought that Eyefinity support was to use a display in addition to the DVI port Port.   Specifically, I thought that a monitor has been supported by DVI monitors while 4 thru two supported using an active connection to the view port using a product like the DisplayPort Accell UltraAV K087B-005 / 3 x multi-monitor DVI - D single-link adapter.

  To my surprise the graphics card came with an HDMI port, not a display port and I believe that HDMI port is a connection from one to the other, and not one of many display connection.   Maybe someone can correct me if I am wrong on this point.   But if I'm not wrong then, this would imply that, at most, the Dell XPS 8500 with the AMD Radeon HD card 7570 can support up to only 2 monitors (one DVI port) and the other HDMI port instead of 4 monitors as described on the above link.

  Others would agree with this statement?

  Note that the Dell XPS 8500 also has a VGA connector on it but I tested it using a monitor on VGA and a monitor on the DVI connection and the computer that reported as an invalid monitor config.   Probably because the VGA and DVI connections are originally the same video display as connect two monitors to display even has no logical sense.

  I have not tested the HDMI port for the second monitor again mainly because I don't have a spare HDMI cable on site at the present time.   I'll probably buy one tomorrow unless I see the comments of my post, specifying that a second monitor can be moved through the HDMI port on the AMD Radeon HD 7570 map...   I'd be surprised if that were the case (1 monitor system would be quite restrictive), but it is difficult to say with certainty, because the VGA and DVI connections at the same time have been marked by the computer as an invalid configuration...

  Any thoughts on the different ways to configure multiple monitors with the XPS 8500 and the 1 GB AMD Radeon HD 7500 is appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Doug

  If the card is not a display port is not an eyefinity card and cannot stand 3 monitors... it will be 2 monitors, no problem... I couldn't find anywhere on the site of Dell, where he says that the card was eyefinity... If you want 3 assumption of monitors you can buy a video card that supports.

• How can I install my printer model Dell 720 on my new Dell XPS 8500 with windows 7

  I have the software for my Dell 720 printer, but it will not install on my new Dell XPS 8500 with windows 7.  It works fine on my Dell Dimension 3000 with windows XP.  I would use this printer with my new system

  Dell is not a Windows 7 driver for this printer.  The closest thing they have is a driver for Vista 32 bit.  So your options are to (1) Download 32-bit Vista driver and try to install in compatibility mode, (2) use XP Mode if you have the professional or Enterprise version of Windows 7 Ultimate, (3) buy another printer.

  You can download the Vista 32-bit driver

• Toggle touchpad with keyboard shortcut for Dell XPS 13 (XPS L322X)

  Hello

  Is it possible to turn on/off the touchpad with a keyboard shortcut?

  Thank you!

  Karl

  I have a Dell XPS 13 and this has bugged me for a year. I have finally fixed it, via a registry command line:

  To disable the trackpad, run

  Tracking Add "HKCU\Software\Cypress TrackPad Driver\Device Select" v EnableTrackPad /t REG_DWORD /d 1 f

  To activate the trackpad, run

  Tracking Add 'Select HKCU\Software\Cypress TrackPad Driver\Device' v EnableTrackPad /t REG_DWORD 0 f d

  Note that disabling the trackpad shows a slight delay in it taking effect.

  To automate these commands, save each command in a batch file, for example turnoff.bat, turnon.bat, then you can run them from the windows, run the command (windows key + start typing the path towards the bat file) or via a shortcut app, like slickrun.

  Tanks

  You misunderstood what George wrote.  Dells have a "factory restore Partition" and reinstalling Windows procedure that is described in the manual of your PC.  For example, here is an excerpt from the mine-

  Reference Dell Factory Image Restore [excerpt from manual for Dell Inspiron 1545]
  1. turn on the computer.
  2 when the Dell logo appears, press several times to access the Advanced Boot Options window.
  Note: If you wait too long and the operating system logo appears, continue to wait until you see the Microsoft Windows desktop; then, shut down your computer and try again.
  3. Select repair your computer.  The System Recovery Options window appears.
  4. Select a keyboard layout and click Next.
  5. to access the recovery options, log in as a local user. To access the command prompt, type administrator in the user name field, and then click OK.
  6. click on Dell Factory Image Restore. The Dell Factory Image Restore welcome screen appears.
  Note: Depending on your configuration, you may need to select Dell, then Dell Factory Image Restore factory tools.
  7. click on next. Data delete screen is displayed.
  Note: If you do not wish to continue Factory Image Restore, click Cancel.
  8. check the box to confirm that you want to continue reformatting the hard drive and restoring the system software to the factory condition, then click Next.  The restore process begins and may take five or more minutes. A message appears when the operating system and the applications installed in the factory have been restored to the State of the plant.
  9. click Finish to restart the system.

  You can find this information for your model on the Dell support website [through www.dell.com ] If you have thrown the manual of your PC and don't have any pdf copy of it.

  The manual of your PC will also be instructions for creating a set of "Recovery disc" and do this after the factory restore.

  In addition, the backup utility provided with Dells [mine is DataSafe Local, but that may have changed] has the ability to create a USB bootable from the "factory restore Partition" so that you can deal with a hard disk failure in the future.  So do because it is a valuable tool [an insurance against future problems] - they advised me to use a 16 GB USB key, but the image is only 6.2 GB so I could use a 8 GB USB key instead.

  Palcouk is also correct.  All this which may or may not have been provided with your purchase, Dell will provide a floppy disk to install OEM of Windows 7 on demand - the load is small, I think [I think I saw a post about it being $30].

• Can I download drivers for Dell XPS 420 girl (windows xp) on my computer (Dell Studio 17 Windows 7) on a cd instead of install on my computer?

  I done a clean install on Dell XPS 420 after a crash.  Windows XP works fine, but it continues to ask that drivers can be installed before I can get on my internet which is At & T DSL with external modem.  When I try to go on the internet, it gives me the error of pilots.  I had what I thought, it was the disk drivers that came with the computer, but when I installed and then it is still asking for the correct drivers.  I called At & t for their support and they said I needed drivers.  That's why I came to Microsoft to download the drivers on my Dell Studio 17 on a cd, so I can load them onto the computer Dell XPS 420.  I was afraid to install on my computer because my Windows 7 running.

  I don't know if I can load my Windows 7 and its drivers on the dell Xps 420.  It was a solution, I thought, but I'm not that computer from common sense to see if that might spoil the Dell XPS 420.   Any help would be appreciated.

  Using another computer, go to the Dell support website and search the Windows XP drivers for your specific model number. Using your Dell's Service tag number is the fastest way to get the correct drivers.
  http://support.Dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=Gen

  If there is then Windows XP Download drivers into a folder (with subfolders named "Chipset", "LAN", "Audio", etc) on your hard drive and burn all files on a CD driver.

  Then, insert the CD into the computer XPS 420 and install all of the driver files, starting with the mother/chipset, SATA, Firewire card drivers (1394), LAN, Audio, etc, and so on.

• Output HDMI not working not not for Dell XPS L502X does not work after upgrade to Windows 10

  Hi all

  But there are a few months that those offered by Microsoft, I upgraded my OS from Windows 7 Home edition to Windows Home Edition 10 laptop.  Since the upgrade, everything worked fine except I don't get HDMI output to my TV.

  I tried to search for solutions online but do not know what could be the problem? Can someone guide me in the right direction please?

  Thank you.

• Update for Dell XPS 8300

  Will be the 02 G-P4-2663-KR of EVGA Geforce GTX 660 FTW Signature 2 2 GB GDDR5 192 bits PCI-E 3.0 x 16 HDCP and the Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus RS-550-PCAR-E3 550w ATX12V V2.3 power supply work in my computer Dell XPS 8300. I ordered end of March 2012 and he received mid April 2012.

  Hi FuzzyTrex,

  Dell XPS 8300 comes with Intel H67 Chipset and a PCI Express x 16 card reader for the expansion of video card options. Dell has tested XPS 8300 with the following video cards:

  • ATI Radeon HD 5450 5670 5770 5870 6670 6770 6870 6950
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 GTX 460 GTX560Ti GT545 GT420

  However, Dell has not tested 660 GTX video card with XPS 8300, many users have reported he will be working and compatible with the system.

  EVGA GTX 660 requires a minimum of 450W power supply and has a maximum circulation of power of 140W. As you said that you would improve the power of 550W, the video card should work with this configuration.

  For installation/replacement of the video card, you can view XPS 8300 repair here.

  Note: Make sure that you follow the instructions in the manual before installing the video card.

  I hope this helps.
