It supports such operating systems as Windows 10, Windows 8 / 8.1, Windows 7 and Windows Vista (64/32 bit). To download and install the NVidia GeForce 310M driver manually, select the right option from the list below. I recently tried to upgrade Windows from 7 to 10 (64-bit) on a Toshiba Satellite A665-S6070, and was unable to get the video driver successfully installed. As the title indicates, this laptop has an NVIDIA GeForce 310M video card.

Hi Vannila Yes I am happy with the way the system runs. The only small issue is once in a while the NVidia driver stops workings and the screen resets itself and carries on as usual. However its not really a problem as it sorts itself out.
To be fair to Dell they are not the only one who is not supporting laptops with the Gforce 310M graphics I have come across HP, Sony and Acer with this card and none of them are offering updated drivers either. Nvidia don't want to know as they washed their hands once they handed over the cards to Dell, Hp etc. Hope all goes well for you, if you follow the instructions you should be able to do it. Best regards Sonicmanx.
I have a dell Vostro 3500 which was released early 2010. The windows 10 upgrade app tells me I cannot upgrade to windows 10 because of the NVidia GeForce 310m driver is not compatible. I also have an inspiron 1545 released late 2008 this can be upgraded to windows 10. I have looked into this driver issue as I have been running windows 8.1 on the Vostro 3500 laptop for sometime.
However the graphics driver sometimes crashes and has to recover. While this is useable it is not ideal. In order to run windows 8.1 I had to download and install the old XP 64bit driver and run it in compatibility mode and as administrator. This took some effort and messing about to get it to work as well as it does. However I have tried to install windows 10 preview on the system it will not let me install at all so I cannot even get to the point where I can try the windows XP driver.
When I try to install directly on this system. However I did install windows 10 preview on a different dell laptop the is compatible and them moved the hard drive into the Vostro 3500 to see what would happen. Windows 10 worked on the laptop except for the GeForce 310m which had a exclamation mark in device manager.
And it too sometimes crashed and had to recover This is telling me the only thing stopping this laptop running windows 10 is the lack of a dell GeForce 310m driver Will dell be releasing an updated driver for this graphics card as it seams very unfair that one laptop over a year older than the other can upgrade while the newer higher spec one cannot. Just because DELL cannot be bothered to come up with a new driver for windows 8.1 and windows 10. Hello Jesse L I really do hope a driver for the graphics card can be made available. There are a lot of dell customers with this laptop and other dell laptops with the same graphics card fitted that will not be able to take advantage of a free upgrade to windows 10 if this driver issue is not addressed.
Going back to my original message. One dell laptop, an older and cheaper laptop can upgraded to windows 10 no problem, But a newer more expensive and higher specked laptop cannot, because of one driver.
I do think the chances of dell sorting out an updated driver for our Vostro 3500 is NILL. They have had their money for the systems. They no longer make this model, so paying someone to develop a driver that will allow the owners of this model to upgrade to windows 10 is probably very low on Dells list of things to do. This model has had an issue this the graphics card and windows 8 for the past two years so windows 10 is a no go for us.
The annoying part is the Laptop is a brilliant laptop and works ready well. The only reason it cannot upgrade is the graphics card driver issue. I have lesser spec systems that can upgrade with no problem. I will think twice about buying a Dell again.
