Dell N5110 Bios Compatibility

[HillRunner]

When I try to upgrade to Windows, MS says my BIOS is not compatible. I have a Dell Inspiron N5110, purchased in 2011, with a BIOS Version String AO3. Preliminary comments several months ago were that Dell was not going to update that BIOS. Does anyone have any information that would be helpful to me to solve this issue? Thanks.

Dell would be the only one who could answer that. IMO, Dell isn't very responsive in updating drivers and bios'. Although, my Dell Inspiron 1501, from 2007, will run Windows 10. It won't recognize the onboard graphics, and won't run at the screens native resolution, but 10 will run.

It may have something to do with this

look for the NX or XD settings on the Security tab to turn on NX support

Which in a few rare instances is addressable by changing a parameter within the System Setup Utility (BIOS)
