Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 device cannot start. (Code 10)

[NSing16]

Hi,

I am having a dell Inspiron 3521 laptop with "Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230". Recently i upgraded the os to windows 10 1511 i.e. latest one, but regretfully this device is not working in this windows. It's continously showing the above error in the properties of the above device driver after the upgrade finished.

This device cannot start. (Code 10)

{Operation Failed}

The requested operation was unsuccessful.

I have made all the attempts to reinstall, delete & upgrade the drivers using the intel generic drivers for windows 8.1, since there are no specific drivers for this device on windows 10. But the situation is still the same.

Please help me asap...
