    Answered in the Simplix thread, either use the updatepack or use the driver manually, as described at the OP of this thread.

    It worked ! ! !

    Thanks so much! The Dell/Intel USB drivers for the Optiplex 7050 are a known conundrum, so it's a relief to have such a quick and easy solution.

    So I now have UEFI + Secure Boot. Accomplished via Win 10 bootloader and cheap graphics card supported by Win 8.1 drivers.

    I haven't tried UEFISeven, yet, because I still need to learn about key tools to allow a modified boot system to secure-boot in Dell's BIOS.
