A Bridge (Win 10) To Far?
I took my 10 yr. old much used and software bloated Dell 1720 Inspiron and gave it a clean install of Vista, then loaded a "new" and unused copy Win 7 and upgraded it including drivers. Next I found the download page for the 10 day trial of Win 10 and installed that.
While the Win 10 worked fine on the old lappy I could not connect to the internet no matter how much I tried different drivers and WiFi set ups. It would not even recognize that networks were available. I know
WiFi cards that work with Win 10 are out there but whether they would fit and work in the Inspiron may be a different story. I successfully rolled back to Win 7 but this issue of the inaccessibility of WiFi continues to bug me because I would like to get the Inspiron up and running on Win 10...(4 gb memory, (3.6 usable) plus high end for it's age Nvidia graphics card)
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
