    Windows may have some generic drivers, but it's almost always best to update to the manufacturer's listed drivers. If you really don't want to, just update the ones that aren't recognized at all, but I do recommend you install all of them anyway.

    I would suggest you to make sure that you have your network card and your wifi working and just run windows 7 update. The update might take a while but it will install all the essential drivers for your devices and the latest security patches.

    No you don't need install all the drivers and principally programs that already comes with a CD in new Laptops or Computers.

    I would suggest to install all the drivers that appears as Driver Not Found in the Device Manager. When you have all the drivers in Device Manager installed, let Windows update them.

    Unable to find Windows 7 (32-bit) drivers for Dell Inspiron n5010?

    I'm unable to find 32-bit drivers for Windows 7 for newly purchased Dell Inspiron n5010. It came with FreeDOS so no drivers CD was included. The Dell support site has only drivers for 64-bit Windows Vista and Windows 7.

    I need drivers for Windows 7 32-bit.

    The base load on that machine appears to be 6GB of RAM so they probably have never shipped it with anything but a 64-bit operating system.

    That said, I'd assume it has the same hardware as the rest of the 15R series, more or less - try a lower end machine and you'll probably be able to find 32-bit drivers.

    Windows 7 32 bit drivers are already present in the driver disk. You would have gotten the driver disk along with the Dell computer when you buy.

    While extracting, you just need to check the compatibility of the particular driver.
