A device driver or software driver is a computer program allowing higher-level computer programs to interact with a hardware device. For the OptiPlex 7080, all the drivers installations for the various chassis types are similar except that some computers may have more devices than another.After a clean installation of the Microsoft Windows 10 operating system, you must install the following drivers or software packages: Table of Contents: OptiPlex 7080 Driver installation guideSystem Drivers OptiPlex 7080 Driver installation guide Microsoft Windows 10 Note: See the following article: Drivers and Downloads FAQs for help with identifying Video controllers and other hardware components. Note: The drivers installation for Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10 are mostly identical. (Most of the device drivers are pre-installed during the Windows 8.1, and 10 installation process.) For best results, we recommend installing the Intel Chipset driver utility first. Back to Top
After a fresh copy of windows is installed, always install the Intel chipset driver utility first. After that, you can install the rest of the devices' drivers in any sequence. However we would recommend you follow the convention below.

System Drivers Note: The driver list is based from driver installation from the Dell Support Site on a basic OptiPlex 7080 system without any additional optional cards fitted. Generally, Windows has comprehensive support for many items. The following Dell - branded drivers and software must be installed for proper operation if the operating system has been removed and reinstalled: Show all | Hide all Intel Chipset Drivers Check if the chipset driver is installed by looking at Device Manager.
