All of your dell drivers will be available from support.dell.com. Once you are there, type in your service tag and you will be brought to a page where you can select drivers and downloads. Once there you should be able to see a page with all the drivers for your computer. Check to make sure there are Windows 8.1 drivers by changing the OS from Vista to 8.1 in the box labeled "Operating System".
I have a Dell Studio XPS that I bought in 2010. The original operating system installed on the machine is Windows Vista Home. I'd like to upgrade to Windows 8.1. My system meets all hardware requirements. I also know I need to do a clean installation to completely wipe out my old files and OS before I can upgrade. My question is will I be able to download the Dell drivers, etc., from the site or should I take a backup of the driver installation files? For example, the drivers for DVD/CD reader, etc. Thanks for help!
Upgrade Vista Home to Windows 8.1
