Upgrade Windows 10 - Dell Inspiron 15-3520

I currently have an inspiron laptop 15-3520 I bought in 2012, provided with Windows 8 pre-loaded. I have updated for Windows 8.1 and wonder if I can get the free Windows 10 update when it comes out. Any response would be appreciated, thanks.

The same problem after upgrading to Win10, my 3520 had a black screen and 3 beeps.  NONE of the resets/configuration/fixes traditional worked! The only way I have mine and a 3520 neighbors going still once was to remove the CMOS battery, that resets it enough to let you into the BIOS by press "F2" to the now visible screen - Dell - and then you can set the BIOS to reload the default values and restart.  Now you should be able to get your previous Windows OS or Win10 (depending on how much the upgrade of Win10 had before he died) - in my case back to Win7 and Win8.1 for my neighbors.  The hardest part is getting to the CMOS battery... take the laptop part (completely) AC/battery removed, remove the keyboard (4 small push in the tabs along the top of the keyboard) then remove 3 wires (all marked with blue color/tabs) 1.) Flip clip Brown connector for the right to remove the keyboard, 2 cable). lift 3 and connector Brown to remove the power cable (upper-left)).  lift up the Brown connector to remove the track pad cable.  Then remove the 2 screws of the now open hole where the keyboard has been removed (only 2 screws down the holes in Brown plastic, middle left and middle superior) now go back on laptop and remove all the screws from the bottom and then reverse vertical back and separate the top from the bottom box, must be gently hand repeatedly (pick is a great tool or a small screwdriver) around cases spread them up set aside.  The CMOS battery is a round flat cr2025 type battery in a holder under where the pavement was in the front middle of the motherboard (pop out by small screwdriver inserted into the slot on the left side of the holder). expect a few minuets to load disapate (could be as much as 30 min. wait if it is a new battery or your most recent laptop, mine only took a couiple of minutes...) pop it back into the holder and then back up the laptop (inverse of what we just did).  After replace the main battery and connect the AC press the power button and from the Dell splash screen should come up, press "F2" to enter the BIOS and the move tab to restore factory default and save them.  Now you can come back to Win (your version) and restore it back to what you had or fix/complete the Win 10 update.  I fixed the problem drivers/settings etc. and others around the net (just search your model/problem/hardware) and follow leads and now I have 2 running on 3520's Win10 job! I can get pics if it helps...

  • Dell Inspiron 15 3520 drive does not work.

    Hello. I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 15 3520. It runs under 64-bit Windows 8. Everything works well except the hard drive. It opens, closes, turns on, makes noises, etc. It does everything it should, except read DVD/CD. I'll put one in and I don't know if I can hear the disc rotation or is fan of the laptop. Whatever it is, it appears in Windows Explorer. When I go into the Device Manager on the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives section, the only rider there is a small yellow triangle on it, and it shows the error message "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19). "I tried to uninstall reinstall the drivers and let Windows but which never works. I tried to uninstall the and clicking on 'check hardware changes' or whatever the option and a device setup prompt came, but I didn't know if it was for my wireless mouse or DVD drivers. With hindsight I should have waited until it ends instead of cancelling because I thought at the time, it was my mouse. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

    UPDATE: after the countless times uninstall the drivers and using the "Scan for hardware changes" button in the 'Action' tab, it finally started working.

  • Windows 8 upgrade fails on Dell Inspiron mini 10.

    Dell Inspiron mini 10 (1011) N240 Atom clocked at 1.6 Ghz with 2 GB of RAM with XP running. Compatible check was ok. Obtained through almost all of the upgrade (60 + minutes there included verification of the Wi - Fi when the error flashes this upgrade has failed and restart the upgrade.) Fortunately, it automatically restored configuration to XP without any problem. Is there a solution? Understand that the netbooks run faster on Windows XP 8.

    Dell won't do a driver which is really annoying, if they did I would pay full Windows 8 and upgrade the parts of my PC which are downgraded myself.

    TuneUp utilities and similar programs usually don't serve to ruin a Windows Installer do it do more damage than good. Stories like yours are not uncommon with these programs. Back up all your data on an external hard drive. If you did a restore USB with your system can boot from to restore factory settings. If you have not done one, try using backup and restore Dell to make one. TuneUp utilities may have ruined the Dell backup feature and the recovery and partition recovery so I advise to call Dell technical support and request a DVD of resettlement or recovery USB just in case. I prefer the DVD because it can be copied to a USB key and has no preloaded software, allowing a cleaner installation. You can then try to restore the factory settings and if something goes wrong with the restoration use Dell support to clean install.

    Sorry if it was too much trouble.

    As a general rule, her upgrade CPU what whether it is compatible with the motherboard will NOT give you a lot of performance. The GT 620 is a low range GPU and there are a lot more mature. Check the video card review sites for options. You will also receive additional RAM if it is not already overexploited, usually more than a costly upgrade of CPU.

  • Upgrade memory for DELL INSPIRON 14 N4050

    Hello

    I plan to upgrade RAM to my laptop DELL INSPIRON 14 N4050 & the current configurations are:

    1 213-14765: 2nd generation processor Intel (r) Core (T M) i5 - 2450 M (2.50 GHz with Turbo Boost up to 3 GHz.10 2.0)

    2. 370-18553: 2 GB (1 x 2 GB) DDR3 1333 Mhz DIMM 1

    My question is:

    1. the capacity of the RAM is supported?

    2. what happens if I use the 1600 Mhz instead of 1333 Mhz module?

    Thank you.

    1. 8 G in total, 2 x 4 max.

    2. the memory running at 1 066 MHz max - you need a CPU to run 1333 i7;  the system cannot run faster even if 1600 1333 memory is installed.

    No, just boot from the Windows Vista DVD and proceed to do a custom installation of Windows 8 Setup, then repeat the installation from the DVD of Windows 8 after completing the installation of Vista.

    If I upgrade my ram dell inspiron 6000 6400x800MHz will be would be able to install and properly functioning on windows 7?

    There is no device driver Windows 7 listed for your Inspiron 6000: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/04/Product/inspiron-6000

    For this purpose, you may find that even if Windows 7 can install there may be loss of functionality at least some of your devices such as Audio, touchpad, wireless, etc.

    Suggest you just create a backup Image of your hard drive before you try to install Windows 7.
