What's the system you upgrade? The upgrade file full compatible with your computer? Didnot need install additional drivers?

For windows 7 8 10 you should install the Audio Drivers. They are Vista based drivers because there are ZERO win 7 8 10 drivers and never will be. Everything else you can scan for new hardware and update drivers.
http://downloads.dell.com/audio/R159387.EXE
Is the recommended driver for 745 and 755.
Its different for the 760, 780. 960, 980 etc.
Its the VISTA 32/64 driver.
There are no WIN7 or 8 or 10 drivers. Never Will be.
I have validated several times that this works fine with windows 7 and 8 and 10 both 32 and 64 bit. However the other caveats apply aka
DXsetup.exe run as administrator aka JUNE 2010 directx patch
as well as DOTNET 2.0 and 3.5 being installed via control panel add/remove features. (You must be online for this to work because its not part of the base windows install disk.) Nor is Legacy Direct Play.
