What about putting my serlal number on it?
he chrome lag issue is very annoying. Also I think the desktop windows manager might have something to do with the crashing. I read lot of people mention they play games... and their computer has these issues and DWM uses lot of gpu or cpu. I don't notice it using that much ram... but it does use a decent amount of gpu?

When I had did the clean reinstall of windows 10 pro, I had to download those wifi drivers named Dell Wireless in order to get internet to work etc. Then after that, I recall downloading the urgent drivers first but I did not install Dell XPS 15 System Bios. Is that very important? Thing is I never downloaded anything bios at all because not only did I not know about it, but heard doing a bios update can be risky as it could brick your computer etc. How do I find out what Bios version I am on?
The other urgent drivers, I did download the nvidia feforce/quadra series driver and the intel management engine components installer. I am not sure if I downloaded the intel thunderbolt controller driver but when I press the start menu and type in that, I do see I did download that driver but not sure if I opened it? Anyone know the name for that program on add/remove program because I don't see it.
In the recommended drivers, I remember downloading a bunch of them but not all. I remember just downloading enough drivers where... as long as that device manager didn't have anymore yellow exclamation marks, then I stopped downloading any of the other recommended drivers as I figure that wouldn't be necessary.
In diagnostics tab, there is also Recommended Lets test your pc for common hardware issues and run quick test seem to be 10 minutes. There is also other option of Choose a different test of full test that last 40 minutes. Has anyone done this and recommend it?
On the Drivers and Downloads tab where it show all those 28 drivers with urgent and recommended, it has Recommended Let Dell automatically find driver updates for you and you could click on check for updates. Should I do that? I had clicked on manually find a specific driver for my device and that is when it showed those 28 drivers.
