    Can the Dell XPS 8700 be upgraded to Windows 10?


    A friend with a Dell XPS 8700 i5 that was running Windows 7 had the OS crash. Recovery media is no longer available and a Microsoft Windows 7 disk isn't a solution because it requires inputting a license key; apparently Dell PCs have the license key embedded in the bios. The question is will the XPS 8700 support an upgrade to Windows 10 if we get a retail copy? TIA for any help.

    :)

    Dell XPS 13 9333 - Windows couldnt not complete the installation, to install windows on this computer, please restart the installation

    According to Dell's official Windows 10 Creators Update page, the Dell xps 13 9333 is not listed as tested:

    Dell computers tested for Windows 10 October 2018 Update and previous versions of Windows 10 | Dell Deutschland



    You can try a manual upgraded as suggested in my previous reply using the ISO in addition to the 12 steps before upgrading.

    Can the Dell XPS 8700 be upgraded to Windows 10?

    Dell XPS 8500 upgrade from Win 8.1 Pro to Win 10 Pro

    Hi Andy,

    I have to say that XPS 8500 and XPS 8700 have different net adapters and controllers for Lan and WiFi.

    There are drivers for Windows 10 in XPS 8700. Dell got them.

    The problem is that Dell and Realtek didn't make the same for XPS 8500.

    You can't use the same drivers in XPS 8500 than in XPS 8700.

    Thanks for your comments!

    Best regards,

    Rafa
