Fresh Install - Best way to get drivers ahead of time w/o all of the "crap" software

[nutshellml]

Evening all, I'm about to do a fresh install of Win 10 Home, I wanted to know if there are any "tricks" to get the drivers ahead of time without all of the added software. I have a Dell XP 8700, any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

THANKS!

The only reliable way to get drivers ahead of time is download them off the Dell website as many of the driver updater software apps can and will install the wrong drivers. So if you want PC to not have odd errors, I would stick to the manufacturers web site

Win 10 is pretty good, it can and will download drivers for most hardware, it just doesn't always get the newest versions

you can go to the dell web site for model after installed and click detect drivers and it will show you what to download: http://www.dell.com/support/home/au/en/aubsd1/product-support/product/xps-8700/drivers/simple

Exactly this, be prepared! I put em all on a USB stick and have it ready for after the install.
