Windows 10: Is somewhere available Windows 10 1607 ISO to download?

Did you find 1607 version?

 

It's worth reiterating the method Try3 points to:

Open Edge browser

Go to:

Download Windows 10 Disc Image (ISO File)

Click F12 (may take a little time to show the console in the lower half of the Edge window)

Click Emulation

In the box labelled User Agent String:, select Apple Safari (IPad) from the drop-down list

When the main browser window changes, click Select Edition, then select Windows10 (or your reguired edition type) under Windows10 Anniversary Update





Click Confirm

Select your Language and Confirm

Select 32-bit (about 3.2GB) or 64-bit (about 4.1GB) depending on your needs, and proceed to download the ISO file.

That's it.*Smile

 

Yes, it has downloaded, mounted and copied to Usb-stick.

 

That's the third time in this thread, the post I linked to in post #3 gave that method too, plus the add-ons that can make it work in other browsers.

(fourth time now *Smile )

Apparently it works well *Smile

 

Pirox,

You have still not said anything about which WiFi card is in the computer.

It's hard to say because the machine is now 400 km away from here, Dell's specs says it is some kind Atheros half mini card. I know more when it is my hands.

 

Pirix,

I still think you should attack the problem rather than go through a full reinstallation based on hope alone. If there are also other problems then a full clean installation might be worthwhile but first use the current installation to sort out the WiFi card driver that is almost certainly at the heart of the current matter. Then you could clean install, add the driver you have identified as best and get on with using the computer rather than fighting problems with it.

So it's a Vista-era Inspiron 1545. Reinstalling the original Vista drivers is unlikely to be any help but that is not impossible** - Dell Wireless 1515 (11agn) WLAN half mini-Card (Atheros). Did you ever run compatibility tests for Windows 10 [see Windows 7, 8.1, 10 compatibility testing for Windows XP, Vista - WiKi]?

** I have also installed Windows 10 on very old Dells and, on my 12-year old Dell Inspiron 9300, the best WiFi card driver for Windows 10 was a Vista one.

1.1 Note the full title of the WiFi card given by Device manager, Network adapters [it might, for example, be something like Atheros 12345-N].
1.2 Note the full title of the WiFi card used in the original purchase documentation in case there are multiple common titles for it.
1.3 Go to Device manager, Network adapters, {the card}, Details tab and use the dropdown list to record the Hardware IDs entries.

2.1 You could then try deleting the WiFi card in Device manager and then letting it redetect it then reinstalling whatever drivers it thinks best.
2.2 Check that its name has not changed. If so then it might or might not be suitable.
2.3 Search the Atheros website for drivers.
2.4 Search the Microsoft update catalog service website for drivers by searching on the name used by Device manager then checking the search results against the hardware IDs listed in the details shown when you click on the name of each search result. Do not bother with anything that does not have a matching line in the Device manager hardware IDs.
2.5 See if any other users have solved the problem by searching this forum for the card's name and then do the same in the Dell user forums.

Case solved!
Yesterday I had chance to see the machine, and my brother too. I replaced the wifi card with Realtec Rtl-8188ee, start-up and everything OK. Thanks to everyone!

There was no need to go back to 1607, the 1703 works well now.
