Precision 3630 Tower Driver installation guide
Microsoft Windows 10
Note: Use this page as a reference for what the list of drivers should look like in Device Manager after installation. Drivers can be downloaded from the Dell Support Site.
Note: See article Drivers and Downloads FAQ for help with identifying Video controllers and other hardware components.
Note: The driver installation processes for Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10 are mostly identical. (Most of the device drivers will be pre-installed during the Windows 8.1 and 10 installation process.) For the best results, we recommend installing the Intel Chipset driver utility first.
After a fresh copy of Windows is installed, always install the Intel chipset driver utility first. After that, you can install the rest of the devices' drivers in any sequence. However, we would recommend you follow the convention below.
