    DELL LATITUDE D630 SOFTWARE INSTALLATION ORDER
    « on: January 05, 2017, 12:02:49 AM »
    Please provide me with:

    1. the file names and
    2. the  order in which to install them.

    I have installed Windows Pro 8.

    I have just read: Re: What Operating System would work well on Dell Latitude D630?
    topic=142488.0
    Which confirms that window 8 can be installed on D630.

    Thank you.

    If you have Windows 8, just insert the media and install it as per normal installation. You should not have to worry about what files are installed in what order. Drivers that you might need you could install after the Windows installation. You might need another computer with internet access to get the drivers you need as for if the Ethernet Adapter driver is not bundled in the Windows 8 installation then you will need another computer to get the necessary driver(s) for devices that require drivers beyond the standard Windows 8 installation.

    I put Windows 10 on a D830, which is very similar to a D630. Like Dave says, insert the installation medium and let it do its stuff. It found all the wifi and stuff.

      Thank you, I installed windows 8 and the network cable, Ethernet connection, to the internet is working.

      However, the wifi (off)

      I went to the network and internet/network connection.

      the wifi information is as follows:

      intel(R)Pro/Wireless 3945ABG network Connection.
      Not Connected.
      When running the diagnostic test, Wireless capability is turned off.

      Please advise if I must run additional drivers and what would be the name of the drivers.

      Thank you.

      How do I turn on wifi on my Dell Latitude d630 laptop?

      Go to device manager(right click my computer, left click properties, left click hardware, left click device manager). Click on Network and then right click on your wireless adapter, left click properties, power management. Uncheck the box, allow computer to turn off this device to save power.

      Also a radio switch on side of laptop as seen here must be on: https://www.google.com/search?q=dell+d630+wifi+switch&biw=1600&bih=1065&tbm=isch&imgil=s2GXNmUEbucutM%253A%253Bl4i0nVQDxnywaM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fen.community.dell.com%25252Fsupport-forums%25252Flaptop%25252Ff%25252F3518%25252Ft%25252F19432459&source=iu&pf=m&fir=s2GXNmUEbucutM%253A%252Cl4i0nVQDxnywaM%252C_&usg=__JmcehNoUXz-DDAkib2GOLeV-OzU%3D&ved=0ahUKEwiu_e_76K3RAhUI1oMKHdhnBwgQyjcILA&ei=x7VvWO79IIisjwTYz51A#imgrc=s2GXNmUEbucutM%3A

        Thank you,
        I went to device manager and followed your instruction.
        I then ran diagnose for wifi connection and it is connected.
        The switch on the side of the laptop switches the Bluetooth connection on. Thanks for that!
        Thank you ever so much.
