Have 10166 on my pretty old HP 8440p laptop and it's great. Only one device isn't recognised yet, the SD-card slot. Hopefully a device driver will appear soon.

There's no guarantee that drivers will appear for old hardware -I had to manually find my old laptop's SD card driver, using an older version for Vista or some such.

Build 10166 now out and downloaded.....Just fixes some bugs and irons out a few things. No new features AFAIK.

Adds in the Microsoft WiFi app in some locations (currently Seattle but will expand to US before going wider) http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/07/10/windows_10_paid_microsoft_wifi_service/
Not sure how much use it is, most UK folk will have BT FON / The Cloud / VM Wifi access and accounts already in place.

It also change Edge but not to any extent you'd notice that much, as you say mainly bug fixes...

HP are not known for writng / supplying old drivers for OS upgrades. I've had a few old printers and scanners when the answer is "replace the product" rather than HP supply drivers. I'd start looking at the VEN and PCI tags and trying to work out who's the vendor to go to them,

So far the only bug I've experienced in 10166 is that the Calendar and mail app are not syncing with Google any longer.
