So I have a wireless mouse {see title} that I'm currently using on my Dell Inspiron desk with Windows 7. With the demise of Windows 7 support approaching, I am purchasing a new Dell Inspiron desktop with Windows 10 installed. Really like this mouse. its just a basic no thrills mouse that I'm comfortable with. Software disk is for windows 7 and my research came up with nothing for Windows 10. Its just a basic wireless mouse {left right click scroll} that fits my hand well. My questions are do I really need the software. If I plug the reciever in and turn on the mouse with Windows 10 recognize it? Thanks. Also have a Microsoft 4000 keyboard but not the same issue. there are Windows 10 downloads for that so should be ok there. Thanks for your time

    Hi James

    Yes, Windows 10 will recognize tat mouse without the associated driver and software and it will function correctly, Windows will just load a generic driver when that mouse is connected . . .

    Hi, Jamesmcleod3

    My name is Smith and I am an Independent Advisor. I would be happy to help you today.

    Windows 10 should recognize the wireless mouse automatically.
