PDF

Installation overview

The Installation overview section of the reimaging guide covers driver installation and driver updates and is designed for system administrators.

CAUTION:The Installation overview section of the reimaging guide covers driver installation and driver updates and is designed for system administrators. Do not attempt to install or update drivers on the computer if you are not an administrator or if you are unsure of the procedures. Failure to follow instructions may result in permanent data loss.
NOTE:The information that is provided in this guide is only applicable to computers shipped with a Windows 11 operating system.
NOTE:Dell Technologies recommends that you download and install the device drivers from the Dell Drivers & Downloads website. Installing device drivers from a non-Dell website can cause system performance issues, corrupt operating system files, blue screen errors, unexpected shutdowns, or infect your computer with malicious software.

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 using the Dell Backup and Recovery application or other factory-reset methods to ensure that you have the latest device drivers on your computer and that the devices function optimally.

Installing or updating device drivers may lead to the following improvements:

  • Increase in system 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 updates that are prompted by Windows, driver updates may not be necessary. 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.
