Dell XPS 15z Windows 10 Upgrade

Dell hasn't yet announced support for Windows 10 on Dell XPS 15z laptops. But since I got the upgrade notification, I went ahead and upgraded. First of all, the upgrade wizard complained about Cypress track pad being not a compatible software. And I had to uninstall it. This was the only thing I had to do and the upgrade completed successfully. All existing soft wares including Sql server 2008 R2, 2012, Visual Studio 2012, 2013, 2015, MS Office etc worked perfectly fine. The only thing I missed was the Kaspresky 2015 antivirus, which was supposed to be upgraded before the Windows 10 upgrade. This was fixed by re-installing the antivirus software. Overall, the upgrade was a pretty smooth and a pleasant experience.
