Windows 10 WLAN wifi 5100 driver?

[LSnow]

I have a 2009 Dell Studio 1555 and I just upgraded from Windows 7 to 10 and It says the driver is updated to the newest one,....I can see the networks I want to connect to but it will never connect, only says "can't connect to this network" no matter which one of our private networks we try to connect. I read that my 5100 agn needs updated drivers to work with 10. When will they come out? Or do I need to go back to Windows 7?

Vlove,

Unfortunately the Intel® WiFi Link 5100 is not supported on Windows*10, therefore, there are no new drivers available expect the ones already available in our https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/70970/Intel-WiFi-Link-5100 Intel® Download Center - Please, for further information, access this link: http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/CS-035711.htm?wapkw=intel+wifi+link+5300+and+intel+wifi+link+5100+products Intel® Wi-Fi Products — Which Intel® Wireless Adapters Work With Windows® 10?

Ok thats fine. But can I use one of those cards that are listed for my Dell Studio 1555? I read that you can only use certain ":white listed" cards on some computers? Can you direct me to how I can find the right cards that will work with Windows 10?
