Windows 10 build reinstallation and updates

Imagen
My last post I told about the Dell Alienware letdown, now I'm gonna tell about the things I learned from that. I had to use the recovery DVD soon after it finished I noticed that I was not allowed to install anything. .NET frameworks, NVidia Video driver, etc. Everything finished with an error message that said something like this "This package is not compatible with this Windows version" or "Installer cannot continue windows version error". I started to go to system properties and compare with the drivers I just downloaded from internet just to realize I wasn't doing anything wrong. After several hours I found https://appuals.com/this-nvidia-graphics-driver-is-not-compatiable-with-this-version-of-windows/ and it basically says that Windows 10 build number determines if something can be installed on the system. If you are having issues like me you need to use these commands: A. dxdiag B. winver Look for build number in my case due I us

Dell Alienware letdown

Recently I had to see the case of a recent model of Dell Alienware. A factory reset was necessary but it did not work as I expected, something on partitions was not completely removed so each time I supposedly finished the W10 recovery menu was shown. I was lucky the recovery DVD was found and it did the difference to recover the system. I always had the best experience with Dell products so with high-end product I wasn't expecting to deal with this kind of issues. The cost was nearly 4,000 USD, and while googled about my issue I discovered a good amount of Alienware users that had problems when installed a BIOS driver update. So I would recommend to think twice before to get something that cost that much, for that amount of money you easly can buy an  Xbox + PS + Smart TV and probably some good games. Probably my experience it's worst than yours. Something positive came after a few days of odd error messages, that will be my next post.
