简介
Not all versions of the Dell Inspiron 7415 2-in-1 came with a fingerprint reader (FPR)/power button combo unit. The modularity of the laptop internals allow for easy retrofitting of such unit as an upgrade. This guide can also simply serve as a way of replacing the power button.

Windows Update installed drivers for the "GOODIX USB2.0" device soon after initial boot. Part was drop-in, but fitment is a B-. You may need to do some trial and error for centering the plastic button in the keyboard shell cutout to prevent contact or rubbing when pressing. Fingerprint recognition is great!
