Dell laptop problem.

[trebby91]

I have a dell 5558 laptop running windows 7. It only runs one application and I do not want to upgrade to windows 10.

Having problems getting driver for the wireless card, it has an Intel 3160 NGW installed.

Any ideas ?

Is this not the driver?

How had this issue arisen now, after a format maybe? Or have you bought a new dongle and it doesn't work?

Out of interest, What is the program it runs and why are you unwilling to upgrade to 10?

Hi, It was after format, it only runs one aplication, Hate Windows 10 too much rubbish comes with it! Thanks I will give it a try.

I have worked at Dell, the drivers on the website are usually a few revisions behind Intel's latest. Go to Intel.co.uk and download the driver directly.

If you do end up having to install win10, you might like AtlasOS. It's a stripped down win10 version with a lot of/all the BS and monitoring etc removed, aimed at gamers and for on potato PCs and the like.
