Dell Inspiron 3180 windows 7 drivers help

Hi all, I have bought dell inspiron 3180 with windows 10 OS, I was disappointed with windows 10 performance so I downgrade to windows 7 ultimate. I was happy with my windows 7 performance, faster and better but i cant find any wireless network driver for windows 7. If you have any solution please help me... Regard,

That can be the hazard when installing an older version of Windows. Dell never released Windows 7 drivers for that model Inspiron.

I have to assume you have one of the following wifi cards.

I have tried many dell issued drivers for Qualcomm-QCA61x4A-QCA9377 windows 7 64-bit but none of them having success. I think i should roll back my windows 10. Thank you @JOcean for you support.

You may have to however one place I had not thought of at the time. The Windows update catalogue. They have drivers for almost any piece of hardware and might be worth a try.

Ive been there, wind10 too slow. Im using win7 and I found your problem too, but I got a solution. First download this (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xEU8CeKl_fptruvmf2XAftACKeKO9d8d) I uploaded to my drive so I never miss it. After this, unzip the files on some easy to find folder, then go to hardware manager and find the wlan card. Hit update driver, choose something like "look in my computer" then go forward until you see "with disk" or "i have a disk", hit it. Find the folder, and select one of the inf files: non-end-with-x for 32 bit, ended-x for 64bits.

Bare in mind Windows 7 Reaches End of Life in January and should no longer be used. You are best to clean install Windows 10. Note if you have a mechanical Hard Drive in your system Windows 10 won't perform very well and you may be prone to 100 % Disc Usage. You should consider installing a Solid State Drive and then clean installing Windows 10 using a UEFI Boot with Secure Boot. See here for details:
