Dell Pro Slim QCS1255 Re-imaging Guide for Windows
Installation overview
Device drivers must be updated when you reinstall the operating system using either a CD, DVD, USB drive, or when you are facing networking, graphics, sound or other hardware-related problems. Dell Technologies recommends that you install or update device drivers if you have performed a factory reset of your Dell computer. The driver installation ensures that you have the latest device drivers that are installed on your computer and that the devices function optimally.
Installing or updating device drivers may lead to the following improvements:
- Increases in computer performance
- Patched security risks
- Expanded compatibility
- Fixed device issues
- Support for new features
However, if your computer is operating normally and there are no driver issues or Windows prompted updates, driver updates may be unnecessary. Updating drivers unnecessarily may create problems.
Review the importance of each driver update on the Dell Drivers & Downloads page before assessing the need to continue with an update.
