Yep. You should be able to do this by going to the Laptop Manufacturer Website, look for your laptop model, and download drivers.

Hmmm....you're right.

Go to Device Manager and check to see if there are any yellow Question Marks or Exclamation Marks.

Also, I suggest downloading the Dell Diagnostic Tool.
