I am using a Dell Inspirion M731R (5735) laptop, Express Service Code: <Admin Note: removed per privacy policy~RK>, Service Tag: <Admin Note: removed per privacy policy~RK>
This computer belongs to my daughter. It came with Windows 8.1 installed. My daughter does not like this program and has not been using the computer. She wants to use the computer and asked me to install Windows 7 on it.
I did that and had a few problems finding all the drivers for all the hardware. I was successful in everything except the SMB Bus Controller and USB Controller Drivers.
Of course the drivers for this computer on the Dell support page are for Windows 8.1. I have searched every website I can think of and tried installing many alleged Chipset drivers for window 7, 64 byte. I have not been successful.
The only thing that does not work on this laptop if the two 3.0 USB ports located on the left side of the computer (as you face the computer). The other two 2.0 USB ports work, one located on the left front of the computer and the other located on the right front of the computer.
It would be very much appreciated if someone could direct me to drivers that will work on this computer using windows 7, 64 byte and activate the two 3.0 USB ports.
Thanks very much.
