Windows 10 upgradability Inspiron 15R 5520

This is true, we might consider low grading Dell PDs if Dell does not come up with a solution soon. Most PC vendors should keep support for a minimum of 5 years

Thanks for the support. I've written to the CEO Dell Australia re this problem, and I'll report back what they have to say, if anything.

If enough of those similarly affected make some noise, maybe we'll get some action from Dell on this.

Hi Dr Ewan, 

I am Hanson using the same laptop with 6gb ram. i purchased a windows 10 pro. It is working perfectly. Install chipset driver& touch driver for win8.1 in windows 10. then update windows 10, u will get all other drvers.

Hi Hanson

Thanks for letting me know. I'd be interested in hearing from any other 5520 owners with good or bad stories on the Win 10 update.

I might hang back for a while, but will try the update one day.

Hi,

I am responding for the first time on one of these community forums, so please forgive me in advance if I stuff up the appropriate etiquette.

I also have an Inspiron 15 R 5520 and having the same issues as Dr Hoozami in trying to upgrade to windows 10.  I find it incredible that Dell can simply not provide the requied drivers to enable the upgrade.  The impression I am getting is that they are simply not bothering with this model.  It does not bode well for Dell when I need to actually purchase a new computer.

Any how I just wanted to vent my frustration on this site.  Now I will look forward to finding a direct contact at Dell and use snail mail to try and add to their traffic.

Thanks all

Ross

Hi,

I am Hanson Using the same pc. I purchased win 10 pro and it is working perfectly on my PC. I will give one suggestion. Just install windows 10 pro trail version and update. then u will receive display drivers and some. then download  chipset and touch drivers from dell site for windows 8.1 and install. check its is working or not. If it is not working u can go back to older version

definitely it is going to work. i am saying from my experiance

Thanks Hanson for your reply. It most appreciatde.

Do you happen to know if this fix will work on Windows 8 for home?

Thanks again

Ross

Hi Ross,

I am saying frankly... i was using windows 8.1 pro crack version. so i did  not upgrade. i downloaded iso file of win 10 pro and formatted 'c' drive. then i installed win10 . if u are more familiar with things . do it . otherwise ask someone to help. sorry for my bad English. I am from india. if have more doubt i will try to  help u..

Regards,

Hanson

I too have Inspiron 15R 5520 and am wanting to migrate to Windows 10. We have waited a month now for the verified drivers for this model to allow a working update to the latest operating system.

Please Dell, tell us whether this will ever be available for this laptop or not. If the updated drivers will be available eventually I may wait it out but, if there are no plans to make the correct driver updates to allow this laptop to install Windows 10, I will purchase a new laptop with it preinstalled.

In other words, just let us users know so we can make our decision. I for one am tired of waiting and not getting any solid answers to this question.

You are losing customers the longer this situation is dragged out.

all drivers of win 8.1 will perfectly with win 10.

no need to install network, wifi, bluetooth, audio drivers in win 10. it is already there.

if u update windows automatically install display drivers. u need to install only chipset and touch drivers from dell's website

Thank You Hanson, I will give this a try.

To reiterate, after forcing the Windows 10 upgrade, the video driver and chipset drivers will need to be installed for 8.1 from Dells site. I do not have a touch screen so I should be able to omit the touch drivers.

Upgrade ok but funtion audio not working, audio max not working :( Sometime wifi network hang on :(

I have downloaded the free Windows 10. Unfortunately I lost all audio. I have tried everything I can think of but no luck yet.
