[SOLVED] How to install Windows 10 on unsupported chipset? Dell Precision T3500

[ilievxman99]

Hello community,

I have a Dell Precision T3500 running Windows 7. I want to format it and install Windows 10. However, I am unsure about what to do with the drivers situation because my PC only supports Windows 7 drivers.

Now the model of computer I have is really popular so on benchmark sites such as www.userbenchmark.com, almost every T3500 benchmark submitted is running Windows 10 so it must be possible. My question is - how do approach the situation with the drivers?

Furthermore, I have seen much older Dell and HPs run Windows 10 and perform great in games but I know for a fact they don't have officially supported Windows 10 drivers.

My GPU is a GTX 750 ti which has no issues with Win 10 drivers but what about chipset drivers and audio?

Am I correct in saying you can forcefully install Win 7 drivers on Win 10 and have them working fine? Or do you just install GPU drivers and call it a day?

Thank you in advance,

looking at specs, Win 10 probably has drivers included for most of that.

So you might not have to install any drivers, there could be newer versions on Win 10. So yeah, GPU drivers mostly.

Thanks for the reply. I see however I hope some T3500 user with Win 10 replies so I have a definite answer
