Studio 15 --- Installing Drivers and Updates.
On the Dell website with IE on my Studio 15 I went to [General Maintenance] [Keep your drivers up to date]
I got a list of drivers and updates for my Studio 15 and saw that there is a recommended order of install. But all of the 11 download items listed do not seem to be labeled by those categories.
Q1 - Can I assume that the download list is shown in the recommended order -- top to bottom?
Q2 - Should I install one at a time and restart, or can I install all in one step?
Q3) - Do I have to be concerned about updating over the existing driver or application, or should I do some uninstalls first?
Q4) - Do I have to be concerned about installing over an item that is already up to date.

Unfortunately they are not listed in the recommend install. See here:
http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/driver-installation/
You have drivers installed already do you shouldn't need to worry about it as much i.e. a chipset driver is already loaded.
Restart only when prompted, not all drivers prompt for a restart.
Theres usually no concern regarding updating an existing driver and you will usually be informed that you have the driver version already installed if you try to reinstall the same driver.
