Also if you can, backup any drivers on the laptop before you install the operating system, if you can't, that's not an issue, as you can download the drivers you need here. http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/usgen1/DriversHome/NeedProductSelection
You can see which drivers aren't working by going to your Device Manager and from there can pick and choose which ones you need to get it started.
