Device drivers
Trying to help out a senior friend. Her laptop computer (Inspiron 15 3000 series) is running Windows 7 Pro. I have found all the device drivers, but four. Ethernet controller, Network controller, PCI simple communication controller and USB2.0-CRW. Sure would appreciate any help with finding these drivers for her?
Thanks in advance,
Bill Osborne

What is the exact model number of her computer as the 3000 series takes in a number of laptops? And did her system come with Windows 7 as the 3000 series in general were Windows 10 I believe. Possibly depending on the chipset in her system you can get the chipset drivers (which is probably what you need) from AMD or Intel. Now one further observation. I would also suggest updating your friend's system to Windows 10. It can still be done for free using the Windows 7 key. I suggest that due to the fact that, as you know, Windows 7 is no longer supported so that leaves the laptop wide open for virus and security issues.
