Microsoft recommends systems have UEFI support for full Windows 10 capability - the N5110 doesn't have UEFI (it's BIOS-only) which is likely why you see that.

What it means is that if you install Windows 10 on a system that Microsoft says there are possible incompatibilities you will be on your own if they come back to bite you, it doesn't mean if won't work but if you are not confident about fixing things I would be extremely cautious.

A UEFI BIOS is not mandatory to run Windows 10. I have Windows 10 running fine on a Latitude D820 which is a mid 2006 model and far older than your Inspiron N5110.

Excuse me but my laptop is not yet 4 years old and I would expect this as a basic level of service. I find Dells policy completely unacceptable and you have just managed to lose me as a future customer. I will also let all my friends and family know the lack of support and future proofing expectations of this pathetic manufacturer. I have older pc's and laptops in the house that can be updated.

Well at least one person has managed to install Windows 10 Insider build 10122 on an Inspiron N5110...
My guess it will work fine on BIOS A11. However this system has multiple graphics adapters, Intel/AMD and NVIDIA variants.
If Dell don't support it then its only up to end users to test it. 16 GB USB flash drives should be used to make Installation media should be made with the latest version of Dell Backup and Recovery:
http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/dell-backup-and-recovery-1-8-1-71/
This media should be made for all users to have a means to revert if something goes wrong e.g. the update to Windows 10 gets attempted and fails leaving you in an endless reboot cycle.
At this stage one can try installation of the Windows 10 Insider Build 10130 Preview via .iso and report success or any issues and mention their graphics card variant. Note if you are not comfortable with testing then I advise waiting till someone else reports back their findings who is:

It should work fine, I've installed it fine on an older system.
