Windows 10 and Broadcom Virtual Wireless Adapter
The Get Win 10 app tell me that my Broadcom Virtual Wireless Adapter will no support Windows 10 and I may not be able to connect to the internet and I need to upgrade the driver. I have the most recent driver which is version 5.60.48.18.
This is for a Dell Studio 1557 with a Dell Wireless 1520 Wireless -N LAN card.
So will it work or not or should I just not upgrade to Windows 10?

Is Dell releasing a Windows 10 compliant driver?

I`m from japan. I'd like to report my result.
I had a same problem, but I installed win10 to my DELL INSPIRON N5010 with courage.
Then no problem happened to access to the internet with WiFi.
After I confirmed that I could connect the internet with wire, though,,,,

As a point of interest, the Broadcom adapter is a virtual one which means it does not exist in real time. It is unnecessary to connect to the Internet and a Win10 replacement is unnecessary.

I learned this on another forum. Disappointing that Dell never responded to me with an explanation, even though they were barraging me with sales pitches.

They did the same to me. And never tried to fix the problem.

Hi, I have the same issue and I am no sure if I should upgrade to windows 10. I have a Dell inspiron N5010 too. Did the Wi-Fi work after you upgraded? did you find a driver?

My Dell N7010 (now 5 years old) made the upgrade to WIndows 10 without any difficulty. I would have no difficulty in recommending the make based on that experience, or even getting another if (should I say when?) this one reaches the end of its very useful life.

hello !!!
i also upgraded my R15 to windows 10 pro! everything is working fine! i can say is working much better than windows 7 ; the energy management is way better , the battery is lasting longer ; the aircooling system is much quiter ; the booting time from a new start is amazing :)
cheers!

MAN... I bought an alinware mx15 that has this virtual driver and I am stuck too. Any work around would be helpful. I will not buy another dell product ever unless I get an answer, any answer will do.
