Old Laptop Upgrade Advice

[zubheir]

I have an old Dell Inspiron N5050 laptop that needs a ram and ssd upgrade.
The laptop came with windows 7.
I want to upgrade it and use windows 10.
However I dont see any drivers for this model on dells website.
I do have a disc with drivers but I think its for windows 7 only.

Do you think this will work? I need to know before I buy these components.

After doing a million (feels like it) fixes from the very many articles and posts about how to fix Windows 10 update problems, I have finally got Windows 10 installed on my husband's laptop. ...

Seems possible, however, a few things to note.

1) Update BIOS to A05 first
2) Once installed, Let windows automagically download whatever drivers it finds for itself.
3) Uninstall the IDT Audio program [from Control Panel > Programs & Features]. This program is not compatible with Windows 10 and causes File Explorer to crash every 60 seconds!

I see the issue, in that dell article, it was a woman trying to install windows. Obviously failed.

This is why you were forced to be gay. Lack of options.
