Support for XPS M1530 running Windows 10

I'm running Windows 10 on my XPS M1530 which originally came with Vista.  When I check into Dell Support  Assist, it does not provide an option for Windows 10.  I have a problems others have reported - my wireless adapter has to be reset with the troubleshooter every time I turn on the computer.  But I don't know if it's a driver issue, and I don't want to get a driver intended for a Vista operating system.  Any suggestions?

There is no Dell support for Windows 10 on this model -- it's 10 years old.  If the wireless adapter is the only issue, replace it with one having native Windows 10 drivers.
That said, with each new release of Windows 10, Microsoft makes more and more old hardware obsolete -- you may well find that replacing the wireless adapter only temporarily solves the issue -- newer releases of Windows 10 may in fact not support the relatively ancient hardware in this system, particularly as newer drivers are required that the component manufacturers won't (or can't, in many cases) supply.
