WIN10 Drivers for Inspiron N5520
Hi support people,
I wanted to know when Dell will develop new drivers for Inspiron N5520 for Windows 10. As i upgraded my laptop from win 8.1 to win10, but i had many probelems....I would get Internal power error (blue screen error), due to graphic driver amd 7600 series + the intel wifi driver (intel centrino n2230) would stop working at times. So, the wifi + graphic driver crashes on Windows 10....Despite i tried downloading the latest drivers from the internet. So, i think it's having compatibility problems....So, i reinstalled my windows to windows 8.1. I'm happy with windows 8.1, as it doesn't crash ever. But when i upgrade to windows 10....My windows kept giving me blue screen errors and my system would reboot with internal power error or hardware incompatible error.
Let me know if you guys have any good updates on windows 10 drivers for inspiron n5520.
Thank you,
UsmanPirzada

Can you please tell me where the Windows 10 drivers are or when they will be released?? because otherwise, Dell is doing a great disservice to N5520 owners by not releasing Win 10 drivers and this statement is an example of manipulative customer support.

Hello and good evening
Go to support.dell.com and click on "System Detect."
Once it detects your system it will automatically download missing drivers. Not all of them as in my case so then there is a tab stating, "Find it myself."
This page is a very good tool and it surprises me that most do not use it.
Oh well.

That tool is next to useless since Dell itself states on the Laptop's page that Windows 10 isn't supported. I am awaiting a response form the company itself as to why it is not supporting such a recent product and why we were lead to be believe they will (case and point above).

Hello and good evening
It is going to take weeks before Dell releases Win 10 drivers. There are over 100 drivers for my Latitude E6510 and only a handful that are compatible with Win 10.
If you do go to "Drivers and Downloads" on Dell's Support be sure and click on "more details" or "view more" I believe and most of the Drivers are only for: Vista, Windows 7, 8 and 8.1. Dell is so far behind and may never catch up.
Go to: windows.com/win10support
Microsoft is going to release updates in a few days.

Click on the link below "Drivers and Downloads" under the Support Heading and see for yourself.

Hello and good evening
On the contrary. Once you get all of the drivers on the webpage drop down what you need and when you click on "more details" you will note that only a handful are compatible with Win 10.
If the tool is "next to useless" then why does Dell recommend it?
Go to: windows.com/win10support and there are some fixes for black and blue screen and I view an abundant amount of posts with this problem. There are a lot of troubleshooting links on the page.
Once your system is detected it will automatically check for missing drivers on your system.
Useless?

It IS next to useless and Dell does not recommend it. Fyi. If Dell truly recommends it, then I need to see the official Windows 10 page in the drivers and downloads section of 5520. Instead, I see a message saying Win10 is not officially supported and unknown problems may occur. Please stop trying to post straying arguments. I need an answer from Dell official. Are we getting OFFICIAL win10 support, or was the above statement a lie?

Inspiron 5520 is experiencing a rather strange, unique problem after updating to Win 10 Home from Win 7 Home.
A popup window comes up saying "Conexant Audio Device cannot be found. The application will now exit."
Audio IS present but at a reduced volume level (about 2/3's of normal).
Anyone having this same problem?
Any solutions?
I suspect a driver conflict.

Yes, I just experienced the same with a Win 10 update. Sound was working fine before the update, but now I get no sound at all and the same error message that the Conexant device cannot be found upon boot up.

In my efforts to solve the problem, I found THIS PAGE.
-Download the correct drivers for your system.
-Remove your non-working drivers. (I recommend you clean out all the old registry entries too)
-Restart.
-Install the new drivers.
-Restart, then SHUTDOWN your system.
-Upon your next Restart, you should have sound again.
-It actually took 2 shutdowns. Next time the system was started, the pop-up did not appear.
The pop-up window disappeared for me but sound level is still only 2/3's of normal but, is being enhanced by DFX Audio Enhancer (registered version).
