I have inspiron n5110 i5 processor and 6Gb ram which i run windows 7 and now i want to run windows 8.....so,i need some help over the issue...
Firstly i have gone through many sites but got confused whether to upgrade to win 8 or not as there are issues with Intel HD graphics and Black screen problems...I dont want to experiment on my notebook please suggest me the right option
Plz help me,
let me know whether win 8 works with n5110 or not ,if it works give me the driver installation guide step by step and link to download the supported drivers..
You can upgrade to Windows 8 its a good operating system. Some are facing issues with Windows 8 installation as they don’t upgrade to latest BIOS before installing Windows 8 for the computer which would support Windows 8 operating system.
Your system is supported for Windows 8 upgrade.
First I’d suggest that you update the BIOS on your system by referring to the link given below and then upgrade to Windows 8 operating system.
i tried downloading BIOS using the link http://dell.to/RhQBPw but it's not downloading but no issue i'll try later....
plz do me a favour by sending the apllicable and compatible driver list for n5110 and windows 8 64 bit edition to my mail id [ADMIN NOTE: Email address removed per privacy policy - questions will be answered in the forums] so that i can download and install them as you suggested
Don't use the dell.to links - they are broken more often than they work. Go to support.dell.com or ftp.dell.com and browse to your system to download the files:
What makes you think drivers are missing? If the drivers are not listed for Windows 8 on your system, it USUALLY means that the drivers are built into Windows.
Go to Device Manager and see if any devices are listed as unknown. If so, right-click the device, Properties, Details tab, change dropdown to Hardware Ids and post the VEN and DEV ID's here.
i hv upgraded my laptop to win 8 from 7, without creating recovery dvds/cds of applications and softwares initially installed by dell, now i am getting problem in creating recovery dvds/cds for entire system......also my dell datasafe local backup has been removed by dell people and thy installed recovery and media creator from dell website, am i at loss by this installation.?
I reinstalled windows 7 home premium so i lost many dell software which i got with the product now when i try to download factory installed software's from the dell site i get the below error...help me to get rid of it
