Dell has not tested Inspiron 1090 with Windows 8. Inspiron 1090 is shipped with Windows 7 and drivers are available for same on support website. For more information on this you can refer to link: http://dell.to/OQjV27 . You can try installing the drivers compatible with Windows 7 that might work.

You can download driver for ST Microelectronics DL303DLH Sensor from the link: http://dell.to/Swjw4h

This driver worked for me  Thank you for the post!  I have been very impressed with the windows 8 upgrade to my wife's DUO. The touch screen works so much better (faster and more precise finger touches). I too urge Dell to protect the investment of its customers by offering Windows 8 support for this expensive unit.

Here is a link to some drivers for screen rotation.  They are Samsung drivers, but I have downloaded and installed them and it works just fine.  Make sure you uninstall (if you can) the accelerator magnetometer software first in the uninstall programs function in windows control panel first.  I wasn't able to get them out but it is still working.  This is for the Windows 8 upgrade only.

Hi Chinmay,

Based on your answer I can only assume that Dell has a fair amount of contempt for their customers.  If you aren't going to support what you sell, why would anyone in their right mind give their hard-earned to you.  If "Dell has not tested Inspiron 1090 with Windows 8", test it. It's not like this is a five year old machine.  If I can find the driver at Samsung, my next laptop will probably be a Samsung . . . or an Asus or a Sony or a Lenovo but not a Dell.

Please change the job. If you're the IT expert, so I am Dalai Lama.

Dell duo works much better with W8. And as a bonus you get rid of all gifts from Dell, that unnecessary preinstalled software. But anyway, next time I will not buy Dell. Customer service is <ADMIN NOTE: Substitute character removed as per TOU>.

It works actually pretty well for what I paid for it ($175 w/o OS).  I had Windows 8 installed on a Dell Inspiron Mini 1012 and just installed the SSD in this unit without doing anything else.  Windows 8 fixed itself and I was up in running within a few minutes.  Quite nice really..... but yeah, most internal bloatware always is horrible on Dell products (and even Samsung, LG, etc.)  Just stick to making good hardware and let someone else do the software, please.

But still, it's a really nice tablet with Windows 8.  I just wish that the viewing angles were better on the LCD, but still, for working on it by myself, it does just fine.

The best thing about Windows over Android and IOS is that Microsoft lets you uninstall the bloatware.  

Thank you so much! Even though I never found this thread and ended up rolling Windows 8 back to windows 7, I had the same problem when I upgraded to Windows 10. This driver works fine on Windows 10. I am using it now and my screen rotates like a champ.
