Hi nashnash15,
I checked the system specification and the Vostro 1400 supports are Windows XP and Windows Vista 32 Bit operating system. However this system has not been tested with Windows 8.1 and would usually rely on generic drivers from windows updates.
If in case that does not work you may have to revert back to the older Operating system.
Do let me know if you have any further assistance.

Hi,
You may install Windows 7 32 - bit on this computer. However, I believe you might have issues with compatible drivers for some components and you would need to rely on Windows updates or generic drivers for those components.
I'd suggest you review these details before proceeding with the installation.
Let me know if you have any further queries.
