• Upgrade the hardware of Dell XPS (L521x) how to perform a clean reinstall of Windows 10 Pro

  Hello

  I searched on the internet with the question that I have before doing the upgrade and the re-installation of windows. But the messages and solutions are all scattered. I really want to clear this for me once and for all if possible.

  First of all, the material that I bought for this upgrade:

  1 Samsung 850 EVO mSATA SSD 120 GB (to replace the one 32 GB (factory default)

  2 western Digital Black 750Go Performance Mobile HDD (7200 RPM, 2.5 inches)

  3 Intel (r) Dual Band Wireless - AC 7260 (802.11ac, 2 x 2 Wi - Fi, Bluetooth)

  4. crucial Ballistix Sport SODIMM 16 GB (2x8GB) PC3-14900 CL10 at 1.35v 204 pin memory

  BTW, my Dell XPS 15 L521x has an intel core i7-3632QM and an nVIDIA GeForce GT 640 M. It also comes with 32 mSATA SSD as cache for the WDC 1 TB HARD drive.

  My goal:

  1 install/reinstall Windows 10 mSATA SSD 120 GB and free 500 MB give or take for system reserved partition.

  2. use the remaining space in the C: drive.

  3. use WD Black 2.5 inch 750 GB HHD for cold storage

  4. Remove and reinstall the wireless card Intel Dual Band for a better Wi - Fi compatiability for most routers dual band out there. (Factory default, well, is not great to say the least)

  5. Remove and then install the crucial RAM (compatiable with L521x) is to upgrade memory of my laptop (maybe a little future-proof;) (D).

  Before you start the upgrade, I know I have to do the following steps:

  1. update my BIOS/UEFI. (I did it)

  2 clear accelerated Intel Rapid Start Technology (IRST) GUI (my laptop keeps inviting that "your system does not have any intel repaid with start technology").

  3. change Intel Smart response Technology (ISRT) to AHCI in BIOS

  4 back up my files

  5. my 10 Pro Activation of emergency Windows (how exactly? The Win10 Pro is upgraded to Windows Pro 8.1 with OEM Dell)

  Now my question is what I do or what I've been missing so that what I will meet errors or problems if possible.

  Also, I have heard or seen something on the OEM of Windows version. If I change the hardware, disk files or recovering backup activation does not recognize my device. Is this true? If necessary, I can buy a new version of Win10 Pro retail. But, what I really need to do, and does it perform a not-so-complicated work around?

  Thank you very much

  Dean

  If you keep your motherboard you have no problem taking the other components such as SSDS.

  Your system is already a Pro 10 Windows device.

  Installing clean with 10 Windows installation media Pro TH2 your OEM Pro 8.1 Windows key will be automatically entered to the UEFI BIOS and Windows 10 Pro TH2 automatically reactivates when your systems online.

• Dell XPS M1210 webcam not recognizing not not driver on Windows 7

  I have a Dell XPS M1210 with Windows XP Home, I've upgraded to Vista and later to 7, the problem is when I upgraded to 7 I had problems because I didn't delete anything, after that I decided to reformat the laptop using windows 7 (by removing the entire partitions) and aftet 7 installation I downloaded all the drivers and everything worked well, except that the fan was makin a thud I decided to open the laptop everything cleaned up and put back. Calmed down after the noise of the fan, but the webcam no longer works, it says that it needs drivers, and when I install it, first time he told me plugged the cam (integrated cam), after uninstalling and installing the driver a couple of times, that the camera has detected during the installation of the driver, but after that when I try to use it it says that no cam is currently installed. When I go to the devices, it shows a unspecified device, the USB composite device. I have not been able to find a driver that actually works, or the problem may be the cam is not compatible with windows 7, or when I open the laptop, how can I find out which wire is the webcam. When I turn the cam cell phone makes a sound similar to when you plug a USB device I guess that it detects the cam for a few seconds, what could be the problem.

  Problem solved I downgrade from Vista Ultimate, download the drivers and all works correctly, the camera now works perfectly, I guess that logitech has not come with drivers for Windows 7...

  Thank you!!!

• Dell XPS One A2010 CD eject button works only with Windows 7

  I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 and everything seems to work fine, except the CD eject button does not work, can eject CD with Windows Explorer by right-clicking on the CD drive and select eject.

  Down loaded and installed the R168233 - Intel DELL0100 proximity sensor Driver (ACPI) driver.  Failed to install (even after the course properties of the driver compatibility Vista file and selecting run as administrator).  Interestingly, Device Manager reports that the ACPI peripheral system Dell0100 utility works properly...

  Chatted with Dell Technical Support and they said to try to install the driver of Quickset M2010 page.  Installation message: "this is not a supported system."

  At this point, I guess that there is not a driver to get the manual eject button to work with Windows 7.  Are there the same system and OS with the functioning of the eject button?

  I had the same problem for years and by trial and error solved via update drivers, it was either the driver 'Intel DELL0100 proximity sensor Driver (ACPI)' proximity in the pilot game System Utilities or the "Cypress Semiconductor media touch button panel" in the set of Chipset drivers.

  Search drivers for model 2010 in Dell support section (or enter your service Tag #)

  After I updated those drivers, touchpad for media/volume started to work fine in Win7

• Windows 8.1 does not appear in the store Windows Dell XPS 8700

  My desktop computer Dell XPS 8700 arrived yesterday, but I can't upgrade Windows 8 to 8.1 of Windows. I went to several Microsoft Web sites where they say on a Windows update and I have to have before the upgrade is displayed in the Microsoft store. I checked I did all Windows updates available including
  you need to upgrade to 8.1. I tried "wsreset.exe" running to clear the cache of Windows store. This is not a business system. It's a regular OEM Dell version of Windows 8 that came with the machine. No matter what I do the update does not appear in the Windows store. I thought maybe since I was using the same Microsoft account for my laptop I already upgraded 8 to 8.1 that maybe he thought I was already updated. So I created a new account of Microsoft, created a new user, delete the old user and tried to get the upgrade as a Microsoft account fresh and a user. Still no luck. I saw another person posting a message on a forum somewhere that had a similar problem on this exact model as the only answer that I was to go to the Microsoft page that tells you to do what I've done. Any suggestions or websites where I could crosspost this problem would be much appreciated.

  I copied and pasted the steps below from another thread. The procedure worked for me both my 8700 s after that I had tried just about every other proposed solutions. I hope that the procedure will work for you too (assuming that you have not already tried).

  (1) uninstall KB2871389 and restart.

  (2) download the update of Microsoft KB2871389--> http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40098

  (3) manually install the KB2871389 update and reboot.

  (4) you must now (I hope) see the 8.1 update in the Windows store.

• DELL XPS 13 touchpad problem

  Hi all!

  I will try to explain the problem as well as possible. Lets see if I'm not the only one with this problem.

  So first of all, touch-pad of the Dell XPS worked pretty well with the last update for windows 8.1 Pro systems. And when I talk of the button I mean the gesture of finger multi thingy. After the release of windows 10 it still work quite well and after a same update added some new features that make it work touch-pad of almost like Mac. BUT after awhile, they published an another update, then, touch-pad became a complete *. The option multi gesture suggested that all tapping with three fingers, it will evoke Cortana and everything by sliding upward with three fingers must turn on the switch of the task and drag to the low reduced all windows. But what it actually is: while tapping with 3 fingers evokes Cortana, while sliding to the top, he mentions Cortana and while sliding down, it opens the settings (which is not yet included in the parameters of the multi touch-pad finger gesture).

  I tried change the driver for an old, reinstall the new case is just something with the file of the driver. Nothing works. She keeps just be * and that's all

  I can't contact support technology guide for I ask some advice here. If someone has the same thing or know the solution I'd be happy to hear it.

  Thanks in advance,

  Georg

  Yep, it's a problem with the drivers from Dell which has been around since the beginning of August, at least (just Google and you will see), so clearly, they're never going to correct something. They are too busy to load all of their laptops with new crapware. Useless company.

• Dell XPS 17 702 X flicker of the screen

  I read everything I could the varrious formums and installed the drivers as much as I could, Nvida dell old and new, ancient and new, video intel old and new.  Nothing prevents the screen flickering on the battery power.

  I had the screen replaced by a dell technician, continues to blink.  The entire computer replaced and it still flashes!

  Someone at - it suggestions?  Seems that the pilots have no effect.  The only thing that works is to plug in the power adapter.  On battery, it sparkles.  I also have Nvidia to be all the time as well as the intel integrated video card without change. Technicians dell always change the power setting.  They seem obsessed with setting the screen for maximum performance on the intel integrated and the nvidea with no effect.

  Dell wants to send a new motherboard and screen.  I'm getting sick this.  The screen cannot be bad because it works on the current!  When you demand a refund?

  I like to keep it if it gets fixed I like it.

  I had the same problem of flickering on battery with my Dell XPS 702 X. After installing a new copy of Windows 7 on a new SDS drive with AG Full-HD 1080 p screen, I've updated all my drivers and use the bios A06.  That's when I saw the same problem you are having.  Since I don't see it on the old version, I searched the difference. My solution was to do a right click on the desktop and go to graphic properties and select the Advanced Mode. Click on the power tab, and then select Maximum Performance for both sector and battery.     Given that you have tried this and it did not fix the problem, you can have a bad screen.

• Dell XPS 8700 Windows 10 questions with SD card reader

  Hi, I bought a new Dell XPS 8700 three months ago.  It comes with Windows 8, even if I asked for preinstalled Win10.  The Win10 upgrade process was fairly straightforward.  However so far three times the SD card reader stopped working.  I fix it by reinstalling the drivers.  Its not working again and my USB stopped working also.  Is there a background process that interferes with USB / SD card drivers?  Anyone else noticed this behavior.

  Rgds Frank

  You can try this:

  Go into Device Manager, and then double-click the entry for your SD card reader. Assuming that he has one, click on the power management tab, and uncheck the box 'allow the PC turns off... ». Now, do the same thing in Manager of devices for all your USB root hubs.

  Then go to the options screen to win 10 powers, click on advanced settings and turn off hybrid sleep. Reboot and see if that helps.

• 3 installation of monitors on Dell XPS 8700

  Hello

  I realize that he had already given a few questions and answers on this topic, but I'm still a little confused, because this kind of thing is not my strong point.  I would be very happy to help here.

  I just got a new Dell XPS 8700 with a videocard of NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 745 4 GB DDR3.  I'm going to need to have a 3 monitor configuration in the near future and I was wondering the best way to make this work.  The video card has 1 VGA - HDMI, DVI-D-1 and 1.  Separated from the video card, there is an another HDMI and a Displayport.

  I have not completely made my decision between 3-23 "or 2-23" with 1-27 "immediately.  (Will not be the fanciest monitors in the world). Exodus 3 - Dell S2340M or 2 of those and pick-up and Ultrasharp for fun.

  I'm not a gamer.  I'm a trader.  I can't manage any lag when updating. I'm not too concerned about the image is as clear as possible.

  Thank you much for the help.

  You can use as well the equipped with an Intel HD4600 video card and a video card discreet if Intel Multi display is enabled in the Bios. With the Intel option enabled multi-display, HDMI on Board will be the primary display and ports on the discrete card screen will become secondary display. Read this article before you proceed.

• How to connect an external monitor to a new Dell XPS 13?

  We had two new Dell XPS 13 for users and there seems not to be any video ports as on previous models.  It runs Windows 10 Professional and has a resolution of the internal display of 1920 x 1080.  Looks like there are 2 super speed USB 3.0 ports and possibly a (thunderbolt)? the port?

  I've heard of USB - C, so I don't know if it's that this port a port on the left side, or if his crush.  I googled thunderbolt to hdmi adapter and all the images that I find it always shows a port mini display on one end despite descriptions saying Thunderbolt.

  So what is the best way to get HDMI out on this laptop?

  I just bought an XPS 2016 13 9350 and now know that the only way to connect no matter what monitor what so ever needs a dell docking station or an adapter.  IT HAS NO CABLE THAT CAN BE USED ONLY TO CONNECT THIS LAPTOP TO A MONITOR.

  I am working in three offices and the adapter, I had lasted 2 weeks before burning and it was the second.  20% of the forum posters have the same problem using a doc $200 now.  It is $600 for 3 offices, I have been working in if I don't want to carry a doc that is heavier than the laptop!

  Who, in their right mind to product management Dell would do a lightweight laptop that had no option to connect a monitor with just a cable.  Why they could not also include a DP or HDMI port or stay until there was a cable is nuts.  It STINKS for us but ideal for Dell they can now sell docs a lot more than ever before.

  I asked to return the laptop and get a surface or a lenovo and our IT group is frantically looking at them with more new employees coming on board. No cases were going docs $ 200 dozen. We have been dedicated company dell, but not anymore.

• Dell XPS 15, using Dell U2711 external monitor using HDMI

  Hi all

  Just thought I'd share how I connected my Dell XPS 15 (9550) to my Dell U2711 monitor to help and the HDMI cable

  Go to control panel Intel HD graphics
  Set a customized for Dell U2711 monitor resolution
  2560 x 1440-55 Hz with CVT - rb option for standard synchronization

  All update more than 55 Hz, the screen's burst of color. He looked washed out.

  You need to go to multiple screens and apply a simple screen and choose Dell U2711 monitor as a single monitor. Then go to General settings and adjust the settings of the monitor display to 2560 x 1440, with a refresh rate of 55p.

  Back to multiple monitors, and then click the extended desktop.

  Go to General settings and make sure that the resolution of 2560 x 1440 with refresh rate of 55P is selected.

  Another possible setting is to click on the desktop and select display, click Advanced display settings and select the resolution of 2560 x 1440 for the Dell u2711 monitor

  Hope this is useful.

  Thanks for posting this fix.

• 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.

• DELL XPS 8700 compatible with the monitor Samsung Syncmaster 2232 office

  HI - can anyone confirm that the DELL XPS 8700 desktop computer is compatible with the monitor Samsung Syncmaster 2232.

  Already, I have the monitor, but need a new processor unit.

  Thank you...

  Hi yydelilah,

  The monitor has VGA and DVI ports.

  By default, XPS 8700 comes with HDMI and display port.  If the system is configured with a discrete card, and this card has DVI/VGA port, you will be able to connect to this monitor.

• Problem connecting-up monitor Dell XPS 8700 S2715H

  I just purchased the Dell XPS 8700 (i7-4790) / 16 GB and the 27 '' Dell monitor S2715H.  The graphics card is Nvidia GeForce GTX 745.

  The monitor turns on but that's it.  And I see that the PC power supply light is also on.  But there is no picture.

  After spending several hours in my own train, then with Technical Support Dell on phone that says I need a VGA cable (tried).  But I STILL get the error after (in italics below).

  My question is THAT I have to get my monitor working.  So far I have not been able to use this new Dell system.  Is someone can you PLEASE help me solve this problem.

  Apart from supply cable of the monitor, there are only two other cables that came, i.e. HDMI and a USB cable.  I tried both and then the single HDMI, then the only USB.  I also tried the VGA connection by itself and with the HDMI.  NOTHING HAS WORKED SO FAR.   Help, please:

  ATTENTION: No supported video Configuration detected

  Action is required

   This computer has an add-in graphics card and the monitor cable is plugged into the integrated video connector.

   To connect the cable from the monitor into the graphics add-in card:

  1. shut down the computer

  2. plug the cable from the monitor into the graphics add-in card connector. This may require a video card or the video adapter cable. (provided with the system)

  3. turn on the computer.

   This message should not appear after you complete these steps.  For more information or assistance, please refer to the system documentation.

   Please press the power button to turn the system off.

  

  Use the HDMI port on the discreet graphics card and do not connect what either on the integrated graphics card connector.
