Hi:

 

It worked fine on both of my 6910p's--one with the Intel graphics and one with the AMD graphics.

 

You have to manually install the W7 graphics drivers and use some of the other W7 drivers for anything that W10 does not install automatically.

 

I doubt the fingerprint sensor will work on W10, but the W7 driver does install it.

 

If you have a way of reinstalling your current operating system, you can always install W10 and test it out for 30 days without buying it.

 

Just use the media creation tool to create an ISO file you can save to a DVD or make the USB flash installer.

 

I used a DVD to install W10.

 

If asked to enter a product key during the installation process, select the 'I don't have a product key' option and W10 will install.  Then you have 30 days to play with it before you have to buy a key--or maybe you will get lucky and it will install for free like it used to.
