we were cooking with gas (also a UK saying, meaning all went speedily and well)
2. I am however left one puzzle, under the device manager there is an exclamation mark by Serial ATA Controller. After digging around the dell website I am left with 2 driver options (1) SiL3132 (2) intel.
In the Bios "SiL3132 - e - SATA" is enable. It would appear that the hardware infrastructure is Intel.
1. Good work :Yes:
2. e-Sata is the External-Sata port on the back of computer. Yes, SiL ... Silicone Image controller.
But for Windows-10 64bit, I thought it tossed you an updated and working SiL driver?
I wanted to drop you a line to say a "BIG" thank-you for all your advice, encouragement, and above all patience.
As a direct result I have now re-built 2 dell laptops with ssd drives. My Daughter and another family member are very happy.
Once again many thanks.
Kindest Regards Tony Cherrington
Ps The SIL3132 driver fixed the last issue.
You are welcome. Glad to help.
Sounds like you have now seen first-hand (2-3 times now on different machines) what I'm seeing ... putting SSDs in these old (but still good) machines can truly bring them back to life. I don't have any machines without a bootable C: SSD any more (and haven't for some time). This includes machines I support.
