Windows 10 64-bit on Dell Inspiron 14R-5421 - Drivers List Included

Another day with another laptop to set up. Initially this laptop comes with Windows 7 and the owner ask me to install new windows with new partition.


I'm using Windows 10 (released on 2015 ISO file), and old one but automatic updates will take care of the rest. I'm installing using USB stick, press F12 upon boot and select USB as boot device. Deleted all partition and create 2 new partitions. WIndows will created another partition as reserved partition around 100mb in size.

Installation went well, and I look up on the device manager and found few drivers still missing.

Automatically installed drivers:
Touchpad (Basic).
Wireless (automatically installed)

Drivers I need to install:

1. Chipset
This will resolved 1 unknown device and 1 PCI simple communication driver.

5. Intel MEI
It is not important as other driver, nbut I think this could help on system performance and stability so I installed it.
