Re-Installed Windows 7; no drivers.
Hi.
I bought a dell xps 13 today and used the cd provided to re-install windows 7. |
Unfortunately this removed all my drivers.
I read some of the threads and found out that i should install them again one by one, and in a certain order, but i don't know how i should do that considering my ultrabook can't connect to the internet, doesn't have a cd drive (i used an external one, which i now can't use because the usb drive doesn't work).
Help is appreciated.

You will need to download them from another computer, then transfer them to the XPS via USB drive (USB 3.0 ports (blue/red) may not work, but the others should), then run/install them. Install the Chipset drivers first, then the other devices (video, audio, network, etc.).
