A device driver or software driver is a computer program allowing higher-level computer programs to interact with a hardware device. For the OptiPlex 3060, all the drivers' installation for their devices is similar except that some system may have more devices than the other.After a clean installation of the Microsoft® Windows 10 operating system, you must install the following drivers/software packages: Table of Contents: OptiPlex 3060 Driver installation guideSystem Drivers OptiPlex 3060 Driver installation guide Microsoft® Windows 10 NOTE: Use this page as a reference for what the drivers should look like in Device Manager when installed. Drivers can be downloaded from the Dell Support Site. NOTE: See article Drivers and Downloads FAQ 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 will be pre-installed during the Windows 8.1 and 10 installation process.) For the 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.
