Alienware's don't come with a lot of bloatware and the windows installs are usually just that, clean Windows with no access installations. There should have been a drivers / utilities disc that came with the laptop. If you don't have that disc anymore you can go to support.dell.com and input your service tag which will point you to the drivers and utilities you need. For bare bones you will need the drivers that your missing as well as Command Center and On Screen Display for your FN keys to work properly.
