compgen1534 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Hi all,I have a Dell Inspiron 15 3521 with the following specs:CPU : Core i3 ProcessorRAM : 6gbHard drive : 400GB SSDUntil recently, I formatted my hard drive that had Windows 8.1 and installed Windows 10. However, when I go to the 'Power Options' in the Control Panel, the Dell power plan, originally installed in it when Dell first sold the laptop to me, is now no longer there.Without it, my laptop running the 'Balanced' power plan drains battery faster than Type-2 diabetes ! If anyone here use the same laptop as me and still retain its original Dell power plan, can you please share me the file of it and how to install the plan ? If you dont have the file but still have the plan, can you screenshot every single configuration in its advanced settings so that I can create one myself ?Thank you very much to anyone who helps me out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk007 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Have not you visited Dell's site? I also had a Dell lappy the last year, and the power plan installed over the net, after upgarde from Windows 7 to Windows 8.http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/inspiron-15-3521/drivers/simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm checking over on their site right now Edit: Yup checked and nothing there really relating to the battery. Maybe I missed something :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compgen1534 Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 I received the message that this computer contains a newer version of Intel Management Interface Driver so I already have that installed. And yes I made a typo, it's 3521 :DThanks for letting me know.--Maybe since you have the dell battery program, can you PrintScreen a picture of the plan and maybe that would work?Just thinkin' off the top of my head here.
