I upgraded to W10 twice with the Vostro 3750 with i3 processor. I didn't have any wireless issues using the Intel Centrino(R) Wireless-N 1030. I might attempt a 3rd install of W10 though. To back up a second, I was running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, and I upgraded to W10. My problem was that after a few days, Windows tried to boot off X:\ instead of C:\, and I tried a ton of things to get it to find its MBR even by manipulating "regedit" but I ended up having to reformat to W7. I later realized that my BIOS version wasn't the latest greatest. I upgraded my BIOS to the latest 2012 version that apparently supports W8, and I really hope that IRQ issues in the BIOS was my hang up. This is my work laptop, so of course I backed everything up, but man, it still makes me nervous in giving W10 another try with the newer BIOS. On my 1st and 2nd install, I was getting the classic "bootmgr is missing" error on POST. I have a *** ASUS W8.1 laptop that runs W10 with no problem other than it doesn't have the "horse power" that my Dell does. Wish me luck, and I'll try to update my findings.
