  • Download the .appx package of the Dell Mobile Connect App from here.
  • After downloading, install the package by just double-clicking the file.

Now in order to be able to use the app, you may also need to install the drivers provided by Dell. Here’s how you can do that:
  • Download the drivers from here.
  • After downloading, open the .exe file.
  • Instead of clicking the Install button, click the Extract button and extract to the folder that you want to extract to.

  • Go to the folder where you extracted the files.
  • Run the DellMobileConnectDriversSetup.exe as administrator.

  • Go through the setup and install the drivers.
  • After installation is completed, press Finish.
