Hi,
I'm installing a new hard drive and Win8.1 and need to know where my current drivers are located. Most were downloaded from the Dell website.

Are they located conveniently like driverstore or do I have to find the original downloaded driver.exe files?

If they are in driverstore, how do I get them working in my new hared drive?

Thanks,
Joe
 
Thanks for the suggestion!

Going to Dell often requires knowing what hardware etc. is currently in the pc or shown in Device Manager. If the current drivers are available and stored somewhere, I would just like to use them.

Thanks,
Joe
 
Go to dell, and type in your serial number, and you can look at the configuration of your specific system the way it was shipped, and from there it should be easy to pick from the list. Most of the drivers there will only be 1 driver, but there may be a couple for video or network because they sometimes put one of several in the pc.
