Aurora R5 running R6 drivers
Totally have been enjoying my R5 and never have had an issue and thought I would do a clean install. (can always go back to the original set up if I want)
I have been running my R5 using most of the current R6 supplied drivers and downloads from the Dell support page.
Did a clean install of Windows 10 and installed the R6 supplied drivers from the Dell Support page - Intel Chipset Device Software, Intel Serial IO driver, Intel Management Engine Interface, ASMedia USB 3.1 driver, the Realtek Audio driver and the Serial-ATA driver.
I then installed the current driver from Intel's website for the onboard video and then the current driver from NVidia website for the GTX 1070. I then installed the current driver from Intel's website for the Wireless card and also the current driver from Intel's website for the Bluetooth driver. I then installed the current driver from Killer Networks website for the on board Ethernet.
After that I installed all the current R6 download applications from the Dell support page - Alienware Control Panel, Dell Foundation Services, Digital Delivery Application, Dell update and then the Intel Ready Mode technology application.
So far my Aurora R5 has been running like a dream for over a week.
Very happy with my purchase

Perhaps they use the same motherboard
No, they do not.
However, that doesn't exclude a particular driver package from working on more than one machine.Dell Rockstar
