Unknown device in device manager, windows 10 pro Dell inspirion 5000 model 7548 error (code 28)

I purchased Dell inspirion 5000 laptop model 7548 with windows 10 home. I upgraded hard drive to SSD and OS to windows 10 pro. Now in device manager I see 3 "unknown devices" with yellow sign of exclamation. When I click them they give (code 28) which reflects that no drivers installed.

My question is how to find out what devices are they and how to find right drivers?

I tried Dell support, Dell system detect software and downloading some drivers manually but it did not help.

Dell support is very disappointing I spent few hours and they keep transferring to multiple departments and last guy from advanced software team had been trying hard to sell me software contract for $230 for a year to resolve drivers issues.

Your help is appreciated. 

 

Hello Rais,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I regret the inconvenience caused to you. I will be glad to assist you with your issue.

Error code 28 indicates that the drivers for that device are not installed.

I suggest you to restore the drivers to previous version by rolling back. To restore a driver to its previous version, kindly follow the below given steps.

You must be logged on as an administrator to perform these steps.

  • Press Windows key + X and then click on Device Manager. ‌
  • Double-click the category containing your device driver, and then double-click the name of the device that you want to restore to a previous driver version.
  • Click the Driver tab, and then click Roll Back Driver.

If you are logged on as a standard user, the button will be dimmed, which means it's unavailable. You must be logged on as an administrator to roll back a driver.

To know about the drivers, kindly right click on the drivers and then click on properties. You will get all the information related to the drivers.

Hope it helps. If you need further assistance, please do let us know and we would be happy to help you.

Thank you.
