1. Precision 7920 Rack Driver installation guide
Microsoft Windows 10
Note: Use this page as a reference for what the drivers should look like in Device Manager when installed. Drivers can be downloaded from the Dell Support Site.
Note: See Drivers and Downloads FAQs for help with identifying video controllers and other hardware components.
Note: The driver installations for Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10 are mostly identical. Most of the device drivers are preinstalled during the Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 installation process. For 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.
