How can I root my Dell Venue 8 7840?

[AC Question]

Want to root my Dell Venue 8 7840

I have software 5.0.2.
NEED this to clear up space on the internal storage by moving as much as possible to my SD card.

(1) get the latest Lollipop update
(2) See if this works, Users Report The Bootloader On The Dell Venue 8 7840 Can Now Be Unlocked

But, why bother? If you apps support it, you should be able to natively move anything to the SD card in Lollipop (unless I misread something)

In 5.1 I am able to move large portions of apps to the SD card. In 5.0.2 I could only move small amounts of data.
