Hi Susan, Ideally the disc should have the drivers for both Windows 7 and Windows 8. Once the disc launches an option is available to select the Operating System and respective drivers would be available. If the drivers are unavailable in the disc, please use this link to install the drivers for Windows 7 on this computer. Please refer to the following link which has the order to install the drivers in the computer: [URL] For any clarifications feel free to contact me.
Hi, my first Dell laptop arrived today, an Inspiron 3520....changing over from Lenovo.  When I first booted it up, I was horrified!!  But it was my own fault.  I saw such a good price from Costco that I didn't pay any attention to which OS was supplied with the system.  To my disgust, it is Win8. I don't mind paying full price to Newegg for a Win7 Pro OEM disc, doing a wipe and a clean install.  I've been a desktop homebuilder since the '80s so it's a procedure that I do frequently.  However, this will be my first experience doing a clean install on a computer that someone else built.   Included  with my laptop is a "drivers and utilities" disc.  That's nice but I'll be transitioning to a different OS.  I'm assuming that the drivers on that disc are for Win8?  Or can they be used for Win7 (not likely)?  If not, is there a  way of getting a list of the required drivers for my system using Win7 Pro 64 bit? Thanks in advance, Susan         
Drivers for downgrade?
