Note that the post is from 6 yrs ago and probably does not apply anymore. Your model is considered obsolete now and cannot run windows 10. Put the money towards a new computer.

Thanks for the information Mary G! I completely missed the age of the unit.

Note to anyone reading this for info, as I have been: that machine does run Windows 10 and with an SSD drive it isn’t half bad either.

My Dell N5050 laptop has upgrades to appropriate (OEM Optional) I7 processor,16Gb of RAM, and an SSD. Running Win10 Pro fine, but not upgradeable to Win 11. You may need to run "Windows Update, Dell Update, and/or Intel Update" to get all things running right. My computer did it automatically, but YMMV.
