= Dell XPS 17 9710 = There are two major hardware variants. Intel-only and NVidia This has only been tested with the Intel-only variant == Firmware Configuration == Enter the bios by repeatedly pressing F2 when the laptop turns on === Before installation === These settings are needed both for booting the final install, and installer itself. Therefore, they must be done first. ==== Method One ==== * Click ''Restore Settings'' button a select ''BIOS Defaults'', not to be confused with ''Factory Settings'' ==== Method Two ==== * ''Disable Secure Boot (but keep UEFI Boot).'' Thankfully doing so is as easy as changing any other simple setting. * ''Disable Intel hardware RAID and use AHCI instead.'' Intel doesn't seem to provide a working linux driver for this == Optional == === Firmware upgrades === Note that this device is supported by [https://fwupd.org/ fwupd]. To perform firmware upgrades just activate the service <code> services.fwupd.enable = true; </code> Then use <code>fwupdmgr</code> to perform updates. === Enable fingerprint reader === Activate the service <code> services.fprintd.enable = true; </code>
