I bought a Dell Inspiron M531R-5535. It runs on windows 8.1. I have a Dell USB recovery media. Can I run a copy of windows 7 on the Inspiron? Is there drivers available for the M531R for Windows 7?

Inspiron M5314-5535
I got an Acer 5535 laptop that comes with Vista, and none of the official acer websites have windows XP drivers. To make the switch myself I changed the SATA setting AHCI to IDE (otherwise XP won't work), installed XP and used the drivers from: [url]
Drivers and everything worked fine but when i went to install World of Warcraft it said my laptop doesnt meet the minimum requirements, I then right clicked My Computer -> properties, and noticed it says I have 1Ghz speed and 1.75 RAM when it should be 2GHZ and 2GB RAM.
So far i noticed no decrease in speed but would this ruin my laptop this way, and why has the numbers of my computer speed changed? I'll switch back to Vista if it means keeping my laptop running fine, but i prefer XP if possible.
I've noticed my laptop has been running quite hot recently so I downloaded a thing called Speedfan, which tells me my CPU is running at 70-80 degrees C. Isn't this really, REALLY hot for a laptop? I really don't want it to overheat and break
I first noticed it and found that it was maxing out at 82 degrees, and the movie I was watching was getting jumpy. I was using WMP, MSN, Internet explorer for basic browsing, with Vuze running in the background. The most I ever use. This is my specification:
Acer Aspire 5535
4GB RAM DDR2
AMD Turion X2 Dual Core RM70 (2.0GHZ/1MB)
320GB HDD
Shouldn't this laptop be able to handle these tasks without getting so hot?
I have an Acer Aspire 5535 , i pulled the bios battery out from the MB and i reseted the bios that way , now the monitor is blank (black) , the HDD starts , the cooler starts ,

When I started him for the first time and try Alt + F10 nothing happens, so I decided to format HDD and put XP on it. I changed AHCI in bios (to IDE) and formated the HDD with Windows Xp. Installation of Windows Xp went just fine. It works fine and everything is ok.
I Only thing I don't have on it is EmPowering. I tried to find it on Acer website, but no way
I just bought an Aspire 5535 and it came with Vista Home Premium. I want to get rid of vista and load XP on it. Problem is I keep getting a hardware error when trying to load XP. I went as far as pulling the HD out of the notebook and hooking it up to my desk top to reformat it, and try it in the notebook at that point, same problem, blue screen f death when it tries to start the windows installation. I then take it out of the note book again and partially load XP up on it from my desktop till the first reboot prompt, re-install it back into the notebook, only to still have the same problem. Is there some hardware issue that needs to be over come here or am I missing something obvious? Or even still, will XP even work on this notebook?

Can I have multiple boots on my system. One Windows 7 and other Windows 8. Or can I create some disk for the installed windows 8 so that in future I can installed it again if I wish to.
The processor of the mini laptop is atom N450, i want to know can i install windows server 2003 32 or and 64 bit os on this machine.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased an Inspiron 1318 from Best Buy and while I love it so far, trying to play a few games has been an awful experience. Vista is pretty much useless when it comes to older games, even some games that were released about a year ago. What I would like to do is to dual boot into an XP partition just for playing games. I think my biggest problem will be finding drivers for this notebook that will work on xp. Also, I've never made a dual boot system before, though I have done plenty of installs and reformats.

I have an Inspiron 15 with Windows 8.1 on which the Windows is not working. I am in contact with Dell but the 'expert' seems to ignore what I say and give me solutions that bear little relation to my problem. could it be that I am in consultation with a computer that emits standard replies based on keywords in my e-mails?

When installing Windows 8, do I have to consider anything regarding those little partitions? I don't really understand what I can do with them.

Whenever I start Windows from Stand By or Sleep the bluetooth connection is hit or miss...If my bluetooth mouse does not work I go to device manager where my Dell Truemobile 355 + EDR has issues and if I shut it down/start it up it works fine.
How can I fix this, its frustrating going into device manager every other time I start up my laptop!
I'm installing Windows Vista (64-bit edition) on my Dell Inspiron 1520.
Previously I was using the 32-bit edition, with the Vista-32 drivers from the Inspiron 1520 page on the Dell website.
As you know, Dell does not officially support 64-bit on the Inspiron 1520, although the processor is 64-bit capable. Thus, there are no Vista-64 drivers on the Inspiron 1520 page. I'm searching for appropriate drivers, but am unsure on the following issues:
1) Often a Dell Vista-64 driver exists on the Dell website, for the exact same device as mine, but for a different laptop. Especially when intended for newer laptops, these drivers often have a higher version number (and more recent release date) than the corresponding Vista-32 driver available for the old Inspiron 1520. Is it safe to install these?
2) Is it safe to install drivers directly from the device manufacturer? For example, can I download the Matrix Storage Manager or INF Chipset driver directly from Intel, or does the Dell version have customizations that are essential for my laptop?
I got it with Vista, I later downgraded to XP using the info in this thread:
Installing Windows XP on Dell Inspiron 1520
I searched for Windows 7 on this board and didnt find anything...
So now I ask, how do I install Windows 7 on my laptop?
For XP I had to download several drivers, im assuming I need to do the same for Windows 7 but are those drivers out yet?
I'm looking to upgrade my 1720 to windows 7 64 bit. Drivers are not listed on the dell site. Only Vista 32bit and Windows XP. I'm looking to go windows 7 since it offers TRIM support for SSDs. I have a spare SSD and was going to put it in the 1720 prior to giving it to my brother.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently did a clean install of Windows 7 RC over Vista on my inspiron 1520. Windows 7 appeared to automatically install the correct drivers for everything
except the graphics card, as everything else appeared to be working properly (e.g. wireless, scrollpad, etc.) After manually downloading and installing the NVidia driver, the aero stuff started to work.
However shortly afterwards, I noticed that the left side of my screen seemed slightly dimmer than the rest of the screen. The problem gets even worse, as the backlight would suddenly turn off after shorter and shorter periods.
I thought maybe the windows 7 drivers were incompatible with my the laptop, so I uninstalled windows 7 and installed Vista back along with the original drivers, but that didn't fix the problem .....

On Vista 32bit, my score were great for this machine. Now, on Seven 32bit, this is what I get.
CPU + RAM are VERY VERY low compared to what they used to be.
CPU : Core 2 Duo T8300 @ 2.40Ghz
Ratings:
PROCESSOR : 2.3
MEMORY : 2.9
Both were over 5.0 on Vista.
