Help: Upgrading Dell Precision M6400 from Windows 7 to Windows 10?

[jackzzz]

I have 2 Precision M6400's running Windows 7 Pro and both are working fine on Win 7. I notice Dell does NOT support the Windows 10 upgrade to the M6400. I am not in a rush to switch right away, but I wonder if anyone here has been able to go to Windows 10 on their M6400? Searching the internet I've only found a little info that a few had no problem and a few had problems, short on details---but no solid info. Anyone here try it?

Well if Dell says they aren't supporting 10 on that model chances are it won't work right. That said you can always roll back a Windows 10 upgrade to the previous version for 30 days after the upgrade.

Be sure to make a system backup beforehand though, just in case things go completely south.

Been running it on mine for the past few months and the 2 drivers that were the hardest to get working were the Bluetooth and Fingerprint driver. For the Bluetooth I found that there is a Lenovo driver that is the same chipset and once installed works great. I just found a Fingerprint driver but have yet to install and test it. Otherwise it works great.

What is the LENOVO driver that you used to get the Bluetooth working on Dell M6400 with WIN 10. Can you post a link or more information
Thanks

Here is the BT driver I used, http/support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds041612. BTW the Fingerprint driver installed but Windows 10 does not recognize it for the the builtin login features.

I waited until the end of July and end of the Free offer and then tried the upgrade. Worked without a single problem and I Upgraded 4 Dell Precision M6400's. After a couple months of use I can all the laptops work faster and better now with Windows 10.
