1 Overview
The purpose of this document is to detail the required steps for reimaging XPS notebooks.
Dell XPS notebooks systems ship with Microsoft operating systems (see Chapter 2.1 for detail). These
images include the Dell recommended software stack and settings, drivers, and applications which are
tested and validated with the system.
Drivers and applications must be installed on Dell XPS systems in a prescribed order to ensure optimal
