System Upgrades

Service Manual

Ensure you reference your service manual before carrying out upgrades:

The most recommended upgrade for this system is a Solid State Drive, here is my affiliate link to Crucial here. If purchasing a SSD or Memory Upgrade please use these links as I will get a tiny bit of commission which will help fund my guides.

SSD Drive Upgrade

Memory Upgrade:

This system supports 8 GB of RAM (2×4 GB Modules) however 8 GB of DDR2 RAM is more expensive than it is worth and the 32 Bit OS maxes out at 4 GB RAM. This can also be purchased using the affiliate link above.

Operating System

It is recommended to install Windows 10 on this system see Windows OEM FAQs and Downloads. The Windows Vista OEM or Windows XP Product Key won't be compatible with Windows 10 Installation Media however you can run Windows 10 Unlicensed. Windows 10 will have most of the system drivers required inbuilt however you can install the Windows 7 Drivers if you have any unknown Devices in the Device Manager.

Drivers and Downloads for Windows 7

Legacy BIOS

  1. Spent many a minute here seeking resolve for Touchpad Driver issue on my Win8.1 Dell D530. Today after 5 different installs (some from your Trackpad Page) I've found one that works for me:
    http://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER00699139M/14/Input_ALPS_W8_A00_Setup-1JW07_ZPE.exe which is 8.1200.101.209, (not shown yet on your Touchpad Driver page)
    SO THRILLED! It's been a constant battle, maybe something to due with the Win8 evolution, me supposes?

    1. I got told 8.1200.101.217 worked on a Latitude D630 with Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. These systems should have shared the same driver. I will add 8.1200.101.209 to the page.
