In order to get full Resolution of 1920*1080@60Hz, I need to Install the windows 10 Chipset driver and video card driver. Right now the resolution is 1024*768@60Hz.

Kindly help me to resolve the issue so that I can get, full use of Newly bought monitor. Otherwise screen is blurry, whitish and pages open like spreaaad-sheet.

There are no 10 drivers and never will be.

You MUST use vista drivers.

You will not get win 10 video or chipset drivers for the old laptop since they don't exist, so you have to make do with lower resolutions on the new monitor. Touch will not work on the old laptop. Time to upgrade to a new computer!

What a shame! I'm in a similar position with my 5 year old Vostro, not being able to upgrade to W10 due to the lack of support from Dell for the NVIDIA drivers. Never a Dell again.

Dell will not have updated video drivers for older models; no OEM will. Go to the Nvidia site and search for the best driver. May find a Win 8 or 7 version that will install. I have three  8-10 year old Dells that I was able to use Nvidia drivers to get full resolution. Don't give up!

You will need to goto Intel sites to find possible compatible drivers Start with:

Hello. Can you please help me with something? Someone just ask me for help on upgrading a dell computer to Windows 10. Is a Inspiron 640M. I read this posts and I get that I will not have max resolution. But as the computer is to be donated to a school that will not be a problem. But is there any other incompatibility that you know for the model with W10?

 

Thanks in advance if u can help me. 

 

Cheers.

 

Sven Visinteiner.
