What is the exact nature of the Internet issue? Have you installed the Wi-Fi drivers and the chipset drivers after the Windows 10 installation? Did you clean install Windows 10? Keep in mind that Dell states on the support page that your system does not support Windows 10, which means that Dell does not supply Windows 10 drivers even though Windows 10 should work on the N4050. You will have to source the drivers yourself at such sites as Realtek or Intel.
As @JOcean said, we need to know what the issue is.
I recently installed Windows 10 on that same model laptop, Inspiron N4050, so I can assist with what drivers you need.
You should not need any WiFi drivers, as Windows Update will provide those. For Ethernet, if you have the same Realtek Ethernet controller as my N4050, you can install this driver from Realtek site.
You never stated the exact problem. Judging by your latest response I am assuming that your Wi-Fi is working but not at the speed you believe it should be. Which Dell Wi-Fi card do you have installed as there are Windows 10 drivers for certain models?

Before doing any of that, you should install the chipset driver and you should update the BIOS.

I have installed the driver as you suggested but the net speed hasn't increased yet.
