SupportAssist is a free application by Dell that helps optimize your computer's performance by automatically tuning software and resolving many common hardware issues. Don't worry about privacy issues, as the application does not access your personal files or information. After installing SupportAssist, it can automatically detect your Service Tag, identify potential issues, and recommend or perform the appropriate fixes. It also helps keep your device up to date by checking for the latest drivers and software updates. To get started, click Download and follow the on-screen instructions.

Note: If you've used SupportAssist before and it's already installed on your Dell device, the application will automatically detect your computer and Service Tag.

If the application can't detect your computer, proceed to the next step.
