I just bought a new hard drive and reinstalled windows XP on it. I am working on my Dell Dimension E510, which is at least 4 years old.
I had the old driver CD still, so I used that after installing XP and the service pack, etc etc.
Everything is working fine, but I wanted to try and update my drivers, seeing as how I installed the original ones that shipped with the computer when I first purchased it.
I tried using Dell's website (entering my computers ID number), and it gave me a list of drivers, but they were all dated around 2006-2007.
My questions:
Would the Dell site actually have up to date drivers, or do I have to go to each individual piece of hardware's website to find the newest drivers?
Is there an easy way of going about updating drivers?
Dell only updates drivers while the system is current. Once it goes out of production unless there is a safety reason driver updates will be over. The drivers on the web are as current as it will get.
