Hi hquijanog, With the studio 15 being an Vista system, dell will not issue XP drivers for that system. If you intend to put the XP operating system on it, then , it will have to be an retail version. However, the upside of that, all retail versions do come with their own drivers. Your warranty covers your hardware, if you phone up dell support with an problem, they may get you to install vista.
Hi!, I want to to buy a new Laptop Studio 15. Nevertheless, all operative systems have windows vista. In the past I had many compatibility problems with vista and the performance is really bad (to said the least). I tried to find out if there are drivers or if Dells gives windows XP support for the new computer models. My idea is to buy a new Laptop Studio 15 with windows vista, then format it and install windows XP SP3. The big question is if Dells have drivers for the XP system and if there is any issue with the guarantie if I change to XP. Thanks in advance.
Switch from Windows Vista to XP
