However, when a friend mentioned that MS was giving free upgrades to W10, I got the bug. The HP came from the refurbisher with Windows 7 Pro.
I got power on and no screen at all and no indication of any disk activity. I bought it refurbished also three years ago to replace a 2008 Compaq which would no longer even execute a BIOS bootstrap. The HP is about the same age as the 6400. You might find this story interesting (or maybe not!). Edit: I mentioned briefly on my initial post that I had bought a new Dell Inspiron 3668 a year ago to replace my old HP desktop that crashed and burned with Windows 10. I understand what Jesse said above, that Dell does not support Windows 10 on this laptop. I would like to get an answer from Dell as to whether I should even bother running SupportAssist, because it is telling me I need something on the Latitude 6400 which it is not capable of running under Windows 10.
Other than that, mine also seems to work fine with Windows 10. When I try to download them through SupportAssist, it bombs on me. Well, my concern was that when using the Dell utility SupportAssist, it seems that Dell is telling me I need one BIOS driver urgently, and another BIOS driver as recommended. It seems I saw somewhere on this forum something about the E6410 not being able to handle A10.ĭoes anybody know anything about this? Also, is this a good system to even have Windows 10 on, despite the fact that this is what the refurbisher installed on it?Īny help or advice will be greatly appreciated! I have uninstalled SupportAssist and reinstalled it a couple of times. When I click on "Install", the Status column says, "Loading" on both of them, but no download window ever opens and apparently nothing ever actually downloads. It said I needed two driver updates, the System Bios Version A17 as "urgent" and the System Bios A10 as "recommended. My question concerning the E6410 is, does this system fully support Windows 10? It did not have SupportAssist on it, so I logged into the Dell website, went to Diagnostics, let it identify the E6410 and install SupportAssist. Last year I bought a new Inspiron 3668 with SupportAssist on it, which works fine, to replace my old HP with Windows 10 on it which blew up beyond recovery.
I don't have a lot of Apps installed on it and just will use it occasionally, particularly when traveling. I activated it with Microsoft with the Windows Refurbished activation number from the sticker on it. Earlier this year I purchased a Latitude E6410 from an authorized Windows refurbisher.
