Fresh win10 install a Studio XPS 7100.

You will need to do a fresh install of Win 10 for one SSD on a Studio XPS 7100 with HDD doubtful.  If cloning will not work.   Backup media is 5 years old, so I prefer to do a new installation

I did the upgrade of Win10, worked after trying 4, 2 failure dodgy hard drive, used Window Media Creator to get an upgrade to work.

Win10 actually cleared up some locking problems I had on Win7

I used Windows Media creator for trying to install fresh on the SSD, but no operating system found after the attempt.

What do I need to reinstall Dell software to make it work?   What are the steps for a new installation.  Links or information

Thanks for any direction you can give me.

  • Studio XPS 7100 display problems

    Hello to all out there. I have a Studio XPS 7100 minitour, and I had a devil of a time to connect this PC to my TV 32 '' to the House. When I got the computer, I've upgraded to a graphics card for games and the card has the usual video output ports: DVI, HDMI and VGA. When I connect to the TV with VGA, it works, but it is a bit choppy. When I connect with the DVI, DVI to HDMI cable, it works, but I can not set the resolution of the screen. When I connect using a direct HDMI cable, there is NO of SIGNAL on the TV. Am I missing something here? Perhaps I missed a driver? Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Harish R,.

    Of course, the drivers! Why didn't think of this. Update / install the necessary drivers, and now, I look at my beautiful display on my TV.

    Thanks for the quick response / solution.

  • To add a 2nd hard drive on my desktop Dell Studio XPS 7100

    I have a HD 1 TB there already comes with the system. Add 2 to 7200 RPM SATA 3.5 "HD which is available on the Dell site and make a total of 3 TB? I thought I read somewhere that my office is designed for a maximum of 2 TB. 3 to work always but maybe just a little more slowly?
    You can also the 1 TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.5 "HD would work, too? I ask because my office is not listed in the compatibility for this particular HD list.

    You will need to buy a SATA data cable, there should be an additional power supply connector into the drive case.

    The procedure of installing a second hard drive in the 7100, are here:

    FTP://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_studio_xps_desktop/Studio-XPS-7100_Service%20Manual_en-us.PDF

    Tip: Open the case and check that Dell has provides the drive for additional hard drive cage.

    Once the drive has been installed, check the configuration of the system, including the SATA port, it is connected, turned on [on] and the hard drive is recognized.

    So for Windows recognizes the additional drive, you must partition, format and assigned to a drive letter using Windows Disk Manager.

  • Dell studio xps 1645 sound driver IDT works only when it is installed.

    I have the dell studio xps 1645 with windows 7 home premium 64-bit installed on. I have a problem since I format the laptop and reinstalled windows 7 and driver.

    The problem is that with the IDT sound card driver. When I start up the laptop, I couldn't find any noise until then I install the IDT audio driver which is from the website of dell (dell.com.au) under the drivers of dell studio xps 1645 by download. Sounds appears when I installed this driver, but it is not as it should. I mean whenever I do reboot or turn off and then on the laptop, the sound will not come up to what I do reinstall the driver again. The thing is that I have to reinstall the driver whenever I want to use the laptop. can you help me out of this problem? is there any solution for this? I did some research until I get the way to recover my sound, but yes I'm stuck with this relocation pilot to use sound. I did troubleshooting of windows and he said nothing wrong with it. I'll also technician support close to home and they couldn't find anything wrong. I therefore ask microsoft in the hope that they know the way

    . Thank you.

    Hi Felix,.

    Thanks for posting your question on the Forums of community of Microsoft.

    I understand that the sound of your system plays only after you update the audio drivers. The question could arise due to the installation of the corrupt or incompatible driver package.

    Before troubleshooting, I would like to inform you that the drivers for the model of your system on the Dell Web site are displayed for Windows Vista, by default. So, I recommend you to change the operating system to Windows 7 while choosing for pilots.

    In addition, I would suggest trying the following methods and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

    Try running the fixit for audio playback of Windows problems and check if it helps.

    Diagnose and solve the problems of Windows audio playback automatically

    If the problem persists, try the following method.

    Method 2:

    If you have installed Windows 7 drivers from the website and have not properly been able to play the audio, then I suggest you to install the Windows Vista drivers from Dell site in compatibility mode and check for the issue.

    1. Download the Windows Vista driver on the Dell website.
    2. Right-click on the downloaded driver file.
    3. ClickProperties , and then select the compatibility tab.
    4. Check enable the option run this program in compatibility mode for: , then select Windows Vista from the drop down.
    5. Click OK and install the driver.

  • Add SSD to the Studio XPS 8100 with 2 HARD drive

    Hello

    I have a request similar to this one in this thread: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/disk-drives/f/3534/p/19499585/20334228.aspx#20334228 but I went a little lower on the line, need some advice and help on the Intel Rapid Storage Technology controller.

    I have a Dell Studio XPS 8100 with discs of Segate to 2 x 1 TB which have stripes.

    Configuration is SATA 1 + 2 = hard disks scratched; 3 = BluRay ROM/DVD RW SATA; SATA 4 = not used.

    I bought a Samsung SSD 840 series.

    What I want to do is add the new SSD controller and install Windows 8 without messing/breaking the existing 2 x HDD Striped Array.

    First, I installed the SSD SATA 4 and started Windows 8 to DVD but Windows 8 says it could not install on this disk because it is not bootable (SSD is not formatted/not partitioned right now but I guess that Windows 8 installation will do for me.

    If the questions are:

    (1) if I go the SSD SATA 1, could I (physically) move the existing striped 2 HDD SATA 2 and 3 and set this configuration in technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology controller without losing the striped table?  I don't want to find that the controller will set up a table of fees which then requires a fresh format in order to to use.

    (2) is there a documentation of this controller I could read on what concerns the reconfiguration/options and their effect?

    Thank you
    Chris

    I am pleased to learn that you have to work.  Sometimes I forget that the newer Dell BIOS will allow allows you to select a SATA port for the start.  My XPS 410, being an older machine, allows me only to the ability to choose 'SATA hard drive' as boot device.  Because it does not give me the option to choose a specific port, the bootable SATA drive must be attached to the first port.

    Once a RAID has been configured, the parametric data written to readers allow the RAID ROM figure out how the RAID has been configured.  I've been through all this on a Studio XPS 435 t/9000; We had a problem after adding a new video card in the system that caused startup failure, error message "one or more of your drives are locked".  We have solved by moving readers from the ports of third and fourth (or Dell originally installed them) to the ports of first and second.  Requirement to keep records in the same relative order of port, you can of course make this transition and maintain the operational computer.

    I wish that your installation does not end with an arrangement of dualboot on its own; Maybe Windows 8 works differently from Windows 7.  The XPS 410, I'm currently using is a RAID 0 which has been initially configured with Windows XP.  When I decided to try Windows 7, I has narrowed the original partition and run the Windows 7 Installer to install in the unallocated space resulting.  The installation went normally and I found myself with a system dual boot without ever having had the opportunity to indicate that I wanted a system dual boot.  Since it was my goal, I'm not complaining, but I see that it might be inconvenient for some people who had the intention like that.  Before installation, you accidentally set your SSD on port 4 to be the first in the boot order?

  • Studio xps 8100 fan speed

    I have a studio xps 8100. The cpu fan started reving to about 3000 rpm, then back to 300 rpm around every 8 seconds. There is no adjustment of the fan in my bios, and I have the latest version of the BIOS update. I blew all the dust. I went from fans with my wifes computer and she always does so is not the fan itself.  I installed speedfan is watch without adjustments for the speed of the fans, he didn't tell my the CPU cores are running around 40 to 50 degrees Celsius and the chart for fan1 up and down from 300 to more than 3000 rpm. Any ideas on what is the problem and how can I solve this problem? The fan slows to 300 RPM will damage my CPU? Appreciate any help I get. Thank you.

  • Studio XPS 1647 and Windows 8

    Hello

    I want to install Microsoft Windows 8 on my Dell Studio XPS 1647. It will work? I checked the download page for this computer and there is no drivers for this laptop Windows 8... Has anyone tried installing Windows 8 on Studio XPS?

    Thanks for the help.

    Hi Radpl,

    The Studio XPS 1647 has not been tested by Dell with Windows 8. However if you use Windows 7 on your system avoid compatibility problems.

    After the official launch of Windows 8, October 26, 2012, drivers may be available on the Dell support site. However, you can always check the site of the manufacturer for the appropriate drivers. You can also consult the following link for more information on the upgrade of Windows 8. http://Dell.to/SyrDsU You can also see the article: 575111 on www.support.dell.com for upgrade of Windows 8 help.

    Just reply to other questions.

  • Evolution of the IDE to AHCI in Studio XPS 1640

    Hello world

    I'm about to clean install Windows 10 on a new SSD.

    How to you switch from IDE to AHCI mode prior to installation on the Studio XPS 1640?

    How to activate the mode of compensation?

    Thank you.

    Hi Stock4j,

    I guess that you have a complete backup of your system drive and files before installing the new drive and the OS.

    To change the mode of the controller SATA, boot in the BIOS (F2). There will be two or three options, ATA, RAID and AHCI. If AHCI is not available, choose the RAID or AHCI.

    You have no need to activate the TRIM. With a clean installation, TRIM should be enabled automatically earn 10.

  • Studio XPS 8100 does not start

    Hello!  I have a 2010 studio xps 8100 (Intel (r) Core i7 CPU 860 to 2.80 GHz, 8 GB ram) and it's great when it works.  Last week, I was out of town and when I came back it would not start upward.  I can turn it on and start the fans, but it does not pass the POST and therefore does not start.  I tested the ram and it seemed ok (two beeps when trying to boot without ram, no beeps when ram is correctly placed).  The original of the graphics card died last year and I had it replaced with an EVGA Geforce GTX 750, I chose because it was one of the few cards that could work with the power supply 350w provided with your computer.  I thought that maybe the PSU was then replaced by a 500w PSU, but the problem persists.  I then read somewhere that if you SNYC date/time problems (which I was when the computer would turn on) that you need to replace the battery on the motherboard, so I did and still does not start.  I don't know what I can do, is the dead motherboard?  I tried the drain the power thing (release the button so that disconnected power for 30 seconds) and that didn't work either.

    maddygillis
    Yes, but I'm sure that the battery is not the issue.  If it was I'd get stack codes error beep (5 beeps).

    Not necessarily...

    maddygillis
    It does not pass the POST because it does not start...

    If the video card is faulty, the PC can still start but you just do nothing appears on the monitor, so I don't know that you can actually say that it does not pass POST.

    When you have tested the monitor with your laptop, did you use the same cable and video port on the monitor that you use with desktop? If you have used another port on the screen with the laptop with the office, this is not a fair test.

    Have you tried reinstalling the video card into its slot and check the connections of the video cable at both ends?

    This system has onboard video and Pluggable software component video card. So, you can remove the add-in card and switch the monitor to the onboard video port. According to the specifications, the onboard video has HDMI and DVI outputs, so assuming that your monitor supports either people, you have an easy way to test more.

    NOTE: The embedded video ports are DISABLED unless you physically remove the video card. If you cannot move just the video cable to a built-in port while the video card is installed.
