    Dell Studio 540 updated to Win 10 - Keyboard driver not working

    Good Day. I have upgraded my old Dell Studio 540 from Win 7 to Win 10. Everything seems to be working fine except the keyboard no longer works. In Device Manager the keyboard is now "Unknown Device" and automated device driver update attempted to install Pluralinput Keyboard 0.8.4. The driver software encountered an error while attempting to install. Dell offers no assistance that I have been able to find. They did not test the Dell Studio 540 for Win 10.
    Any suggestions for a keyboard driver? I can always purchase a Bluetooth keyboard.

    Have you tried using the Microsoft driver which would be better than you installed already

    How to factory reset Dell Inspiron PC?

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you want to factory reset your Dell Inspiron computer.



    Ideally, the computer manufacturer does factory reset of the computer. We would like to know the version of Windows installed on the computer.



    However, if you are looking to reset the computer, you can follow the steps mentioned in the article
    Reset or reinstall Windows 10.



    If you wish to do a factory reset, I would suggest you to refer the Dell article on

    Factory reset, restore, or reinstall Microsoft Windows on a Dell computer    .



    You may also get in touch with the computer manufacturer so that they can help you in performing factory reset.



    Note: Resetting the computer will erase all the data from the computer. It is recommended to take a backup of data before resetting the computer.




    As you have mentioned that, you forgot the administrator password. If you were using a Microsoft account, I suggest you to refer the article on
    How to reset your Microsoft account password.



    However, if you were using a Local account on the computer, refer the article on

    Reset your Windows 10 local account password    .



    Regards,
