Windows 10 Drivers

Hello, I was told I can't download Windows 10 yet because Dell hasn't came out with the necessary drivers yet to be able to download it. I'm curious when will the Windows 10 drivers be available. I would like to have Windows 10 on my Windows 7 laptop as soon as possible. Please let me know what date it will be available to download. Thanks!

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to the Dell Community Forum.

    Please let us know the model of the Dell computer. You can also try installing the Windows 8.1 driver as it works fine with Windows 10. 

    Request you to periodically check our support site for more updates on the Windows 10 drivers.

    Is there any Latitude E6410 touch pad driver available or any one which will work fine with Win 10 and all touchpad functions?

    Thanks

    Dell says it won't even support Windows 8, saying:

    N5040

    Inspiron N5040 systems have been tested for support of Windows 8 upgrade. The Inspiron N5040 does support upgrade to Windows 8, with the following open issues directly after upgrade:


    No product-specific problems identified directly after upgrade.

    You can download the Windows 8 Assistant to see if your CPU supports PAE, NX and SSE2.  Which would indicate why you can not upgrade to Windows 8 and 10.

    Hi,

    Unfortunately, Dell has not confirmed Latitude E6410 to be upgraded to Windows 10. However, you can try the Windows 8.1 driver and check if it works fine.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Unfortunately, Dell has not confirmed Inspiron N5040 can upgrade to Windows 10. Some drivers, firmware, applications, and connected devices may not work as you would expect.

    Request you to periodically check our support site for more updates on the Windows 10 drivers.

    Unless the system Shipped with 8.1 its not likely that 8.1 drivers exist.

    Vista / 7 / 8.0 / 8.1 in 32 bit or 64 bit versions are the drivers.

    There are few to NONE windows 10 drivers for most dells at this point.
