Intel 7260 wifi drivers and Dell E5530
Does Dell E5530 Windows 7 supports Intel 7260 N AC wifi cards? If yes. Can I use Intel driver driver or there is one from dell? I download one, but when trying to install it I get "System ID is invalid, install is blocked" or somethig like that.
Thanks

Hi lepa71,
The Intel 7260 Wi-Fi card has not been tested with the Dell E5530 system and the drivers for the same are not available along with the other downloads for this system model.
The card is being shipped on a few other system models; however the driver’s available on the Dell support website for the Intel 7260 card are compatible with Windows 8 64 Bit operating system.
You may try to install the same in compatibility mode.
Also, you may refer to the link below to download and install the compatible drivers.
The link is http://dell.to/19JNcBm
Hope this helps. Please feel free to reply for any further assistance.

What do you mean "in compatibility mode"?

I'm running windows 7. Do you think I should just down load drivers from intel site for my card? They do have drivers for windows 7. Another question. My system is non vPro. Does it make any difference?
This is the drivers I was trying to load http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails?driverId=3PXP7, but it tells me that system id is wrong.

Hi LeoG,
Yes, you may download and install the drivers from the Intel website link provided in the earlier post.
The link from which you are trying to install the driver is for windows 8 64 bit drivers and not windows 7.
To install the driver from the link you have provided, you may install it in compatibility mode.
Please feel free to reply for any further assistance.
