Does the vostro 1510 supports Windows 8
Hi everybody,
Is-it possible to install Windows 8 on a Vostro 1510 running Windows Vista ?
The MS Upgrade Assistant had warned me about cpu lacking NX support but I'm not sure about what it really means.
Does someone already tryed an install or upgrade ?
Thanks

Hi Micht,
The NX hardware is a processor technology, you can enable the NX option in BIOS page, please follow the steps to go to BIOS page.
Tap ‘F2’ as soon as the computer starts to enter the system setup or BIOS
Please confirm that you are able to see the headings ‘Main’, ‘Advanced’, ‘Security’, ’TPM STATE’, ‘Boot’ and ‘Exit’ on the screen
Use the right-arrow key to navigate to ‘Advanced’ Under the No- Execute Memory Protection should be [Enabled] and Press the ‘F10’ key to save the changes and exit the BIOS screen, when asked to confirm the same, please select ‘Yes’ and press ‘Enter’
In case the NX option is not available then it is not possible to upgrade to windows 8

I have been running Windows 8 PRO on Vostro 1510 (Nvidia GPU) for three weeks and I heve noticed no problems.
GPU drivers - Nvidia page,
HD audio driver -generic driver at Realtek page,
SD card driver - Win XP driver at Dell support page :-),
Alps Touchpad driver - Win XP driver at Dell support page :-)
Donť worry.

Hello.
I'm running Windows 8.1 Preview on Vostro 1510.
Everything is fine then Windows 8.
Most of drivers are recognized automatically however touch pad does not.

This driver supports Alps touchpad on Windows 8, enables swipe gesture for charm and etc.

Hello,
My Vostro 1510 has modified a bit, feeling good after customization.
Spec is: Core2 Duo T7100(1.8GHz) / RAM 4GB / HDD Hitachi 300G and running Windows8 64bit.
I remember original CPU was Celeron 2GHz and which was very^3 stressful.
Dual-core is indispensable regardless of frequency. Upgrade cost is lower than $15.
I haven't tested XP on Vostro 1510. From my experience with enough RAM(2GB+) Win7 works as fast as XP.
Compared to dumb Vista, Win7 and 8 responds quick, indexing task does not bother me, everything feels better. You SHOULD upgrade if you own Vista.
Regards.

Hi,
Your configuration looks to work fine.
My installation was done to brand new HDD from DVD-ROM boot and driver was installed after that.
Sorry I'm not sure what will happen with upgrade installation.
Regards.
