Windows 10 Upgrade failed

I have a Dell Inspiron 530 running Windows 7.  Microsoft says I can upgrade to Windows 10 but apparently Dell says it cannot be upgraded.  Is there any way to make it be able to upgrade to Win 10 on this computer?  I was able to upgrade from Vista to Win 7.

    MONTACAR ,

    You can upgrade the computer if you choose to do so.. Dell is saying that it did not create any Windows 10 drivers for the Inspiron 530.

    Product not tested for Windows 10 upgrade

    Dell is not testing or developing Windows 10 drivers for this product. If you choose to upgrade, some features, applications, and connected devices may not work as expected.

    Yes, Dell does not supply Win 10 drivers, but Win 10 will install compatible drivers for many computers. Some of these work OK, but some will not have full featured, such as video drivers. With a little work, you can find full featured drivers for most everything less than 10 years old. My 12 year old D9100 works OK
