So far the closest I got to getting it to work is force installing the driver from realtek's site through "Add legacy hardware" and navigating to the folder, but it installs with code 31. ok so I don't know what's up with the SD card slot maybe it's missing the driver.

I believe I have to install a certain chipset driver before the card reader driver to get it to work but I tried all of the chipset drivers and still nothing works. It is mostly used in cell phones and other handheld devices, where space is at a premium. I checked the BIOS also and made sure it was enabled, and I downloaded the driver straight from Realtek and neither work. A MicroSD card can store thousands of music and picture files, and it is only the size of your thumbnail. But even though I am almost certain that the SD card slot has never been used as it still has the factory Dell blank inserted, I cannot get the laptop to recognise an SD card, and I have tried several that I know are. Looking in device manager the sd card reader isn't even listed, even though attempting to install the driver from Dell's site tells me that the driver installs correctly, and the log states that it overwrites the driver.

If the SD card reader is not working properly, your SD card, of course, won’t be able to show up on the computer. Change SD card reader and reconnect to your PC. Trying those same cards in my sisters laptop they show up just fine. When the SD card disconnects or disappears randomly, you can retry to insert the card to the computer again to see if it’s stable to be read. Lately I've noticed my laptop is not able to read any sd card I insert into the slot.
