Need help reloading Dell apps after downgrading from Win 8 64-bit to Win 7 64-bit

Can someone help with my software issue? I installed windows 7 ultimate on my Dell Inspiron 15r 5521 and reinstalled all drivers and chipsets. However, when i try to download the third-party applications that were preinstalled with Windows 8 I downloaded the SmartSource media manager (http://smartsource.dell.com/client/SmartSource.MediaManager.application?t=92cc1d56-9ce0-47b1-8889-858fe498b68a&m=1) but  I receive an error message "Cannot download the application.

Hi gkd-mke,

I see that you are trying to install the download manager for My Dell Downloads using an old URL which should be ideally valid for a single session. Visit the following website using Internet Explorer: http://dell.to/YeNfEq

Follow the on-screen instructions to register the system and download the required software. Ensure that the pop-up blocker is disabled, and run the prompted add-on's.

Additionally, since your computer came with Windows 8, try using Dell Digital Delivery to reinstall the factory installed software.

Please refer the following link to download and install Dell Digital Delivery compatible with Windows 7: http://dell.to/1aSEq7x

Do let me know the results.

When I follow Kalyan's instructions, the installation terminates because the media package is meant for Windows 8, but I am running Windows 7

Hi gkd-mke,

May I know which installation is it that gave you the message that you have mentioned?

Also, did you try to register the system at My Dell Downloads website using Internet Explorer?

Hi gkd-mke,

Just to confirm - is that a screenshot of My Dell Downloads screen that you were able to access on your computer?

If that is the case, the software listed is specific to Windows 8 and unfortunately cannot be installed on Windows 7.
