DELL RECOMMENDS - The fastest and easiest way to identify your product model and get personalized support is to let the Dell Support website detect your product or to enter your product's Service Tag. Or, if you prefer, you can select your product from a list. This third option provides general support information based on your product model rather than your individual computer's specs and capabilities.
