Please help me make my Precision 6600 fully Windows 10 - happy!

Question

OK, so I've been using my old good Dell Precision M6600 since the summer 2011 without any serious glitch, and this is the reason that - even though it hardly passed the Windows 10 compatibility test - I'm not going to upgrade just yet. I have 3x WD Black 750 GB hard drives in a very fast RAID 0 array, and both Windows and Apps are residing on an M.2 minicard. All is fine except for a small number of problems you guys are most probably able to help me solve Here they are: Thermal states, no sleep functionality, etc. - in a word: nothing but turn on/off works. This is a difficult one, as even any post-patch-installation will not complete unattended: after the first power off, I must intervene and perform all the remaining start ups/downs manually. To add to the complexity of this malfunction, the power button is not always responsive: sometimes is fires away but die a couple of seconds into the POST; sometimes it will not react for pressing the button for what seems like a very extended periods of time - and at other opportunities, all goes well and the machine boots up properly. Please suggest something to improve matters in Point 1; TIA   Piotr
