I replaced the original hard drive with a Samsung 850 EVO SSD and completed a clean install of 64-bit Windows 7 on a Dell Inspiron 14R (N4010). I installed the essential drivers and updated Windows. Dell also recommends I install these firmware updates. Experts: which ones should I? Pardon my ignorance, but what the heck are these?

Solution
They are firmware updates for the hard drive and DVD drives you have. Since you replaced the hard drive, the first two you won't need. The others are related to the DVD and/or BlueRay drive you have installed.

I probably only have one of those seven DVD trays, right? Where can I find that?
