Dell Venue 11 Pro - Upgrading Windows 8.1 to 10/11

I currently use windows 10 on my Dell venue 11 pro 7139. Everything works fine, though there are two software bugs with, one the audio drivers where the driver provided on their driver page of the following version: 6.0.1.7779, A0
7130_Audio_Driver_T69FF_WN32_6.0.1.7779_A04

PS the latest audio driver listed on their page is actually a corrupt download (6.0.1.7045, A00 7130_Audio_Driver_94PWW_WN_7045_A00)

When you restart, the audio effects in the "Maxx Audio 3" section of the dell audio control panel, will need to be disabled and re-enabled. (This applies to a full restart or a full shutdown and boot up. other behavior such as sleep or standby will not trigger this bug)

Beyond that, audio from some applications such as Windows Media Player, can distort. Many of these issues seem to stem from some security updates from back in late 2019. While many major sound card makers such as creative quickly released driver updates, even going back to previously older cards that they discontinued, dell doesn't do it. Furthermore, in cases such as this a proper fix can be tricky since dell will sometimes actually update drivers for other devices using the same audio chipset, but they will not update the driver pages of devices they discontinue/ drop support for and since you can't search for updates via the chipset (in the case of the Venue 11 pro, being the Realtek ALC283 ), getting newer drivers is a matter of trial and error.

The other software bug is with the mother board drivers, and clockspeed stepping. Basically if the venue 11 pro goes into a sleep mode while plugged in to the charger, and while sleeping, you disconnect the charger and then bring it out of sleep, it will be locked to around 500MHz speed, and refuse to boost higher, unless you restart or connect and disconnect the charger while the device is awake. To be more clear, the clock speed bug only happens when the system is in a sleep/ standby mode. It does not happen if the PC is completely shut down or in hibernation. Another way to think of it is if it is sleeping where opening it from the battery keyboard, or a tap of the power button nearly instantly wakes it to your windows login screen, then unplugging it while it is in that sleep state, will cause the clock speed bug. If the system is in any other state (completely shut down or in a full active state with the screen on, then the but does not happen).

Outside of those 2 bugs,I have not noticed any others.

I currently use the Venue 11 Pro 7139 with an Intel AX210 WiFi adapter, as well as the battery keyboard.

Wanted to also add, to upgrade, do a fresh install of windows 10.

To downgrade, do a fresh install of windows 8.1 (not recommended since it no longer gets security updates).
