Windows 7 (64-bit) on Dell Vostro 1310
August 26th, 2009
Everything works out of the box! Well, almost everything:
- Install new Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia website. The included ones are too ancient to be much good, and don’t support Aero or other fancy stuff.
- Touchpad driver doesn’t support scroll zones or middle click emulation. Install the touchpad driver for the Latitude E6400 (this one in particular). This driver has somewhat weird default settings. I dropped sensitivity a few notches and reduced the scroll detection threshold to minimum.

Hey Alex,
I think we need video drivers. Because system usage goes insanely to 75% on playing video. But I could not find video drivers anywhere. Any thoughts?
thanks and cheers,
Rakesh
Find a better media player :). I’d suggest the Combined Community Codec Pack, which includes a very lightweight and simple player.
what about webcam drivers? I’m preparing all drivers before installing Win 7, but I founded only Vista 32 bit drivers on Dell website
It doesn’t work out of the box for you?
Windows 7 is not compatible with Dell Vostro 1×20s. Please see the TechNet thread below about touchpad failures under windows 7:
The Mighty Mouse does not report whether the right and left sensor is activated simultaneously. In fact, it reports a right-click only when there is no finger contact on the left side of the mouse. This means that the Mighty Mouse cannot support mouse chording, used by CAD software, games, and other applications where multiple functions are mapped to the mouse.
I installed Windows 7 last month (full release via technet) all devices worked wihtout any issue
Nice, so the touchpad drivers support middle click emulation, and there are better graphics drivers included?
Hey guys, don’t worry. I also have a Vostro 1310 running Win7 Ultimate and was worried about touchpad drivers since updating with Windows ended up installing Synaptics drivers. Just install the Dell Touchpad driver for Vostro 1320 (new model replacing Vostro 1310)from Dell Support site, choosing Win 7 as OS. Works like a charm! Still looking for Realtek HD Audio driver though…
By the way, you won’t loose any function by installing that driver!
Hey, I am looking for the Audio Driver, too. if you find any, please post them!
Did anyone else notice a drop an in the battery capacity?…
i also had very high system usage, after installing win7 64bit on my vostro 1310.
installing dell’s chipset driver updates solved the problem
as mentioned before, vostro 1320 touchpad driver works fine
i also noticed a drop in battery capacity! (- ~30min!)
don’t know how to solve this problem??
Which chipset drivers did you install? Those for Vista 32 bit?
vista 32bit chipset drivers for vostro 1310
Hey guys, got it for the Realtek HD drivers! Just pick the same drivers you were using on Vista but this time, right click on installer file and in Properties->Compatibility, select to run on compatibility mode for Windows Vista, and voila!
Have fun, Windows 7 rocks!
I did install windows 7 on my vstro 1310. the only problem i have is cannot see dual monitors. ie i coonected another monitor to my laptop. but at a time it only shows one monitor. cannot see another one in display properties.
another issue is changing brightness is not possible. in vista sp1 they fixed this issue, looks like its back in windows7

Hey, Thanks for the address of Nvidia drivers and Combined Community Codec Pack.
I did install windows 7 ultimate N (64 bit) on my Vostro 1310. Thouch pad and Ge Force work properly But I have problem with webcam and wireless and bluetooth.
Is there any suggestion?
Thanks.
Well, the webcam works here with Win7 Enterprise x64. I’m not sure why people are having problems, I didn’t isntall any drivers (except possibly those installed by Windows Update, I didn’t pay attention).
Hi, I have installed wibndows 7 professional on my dell vostro 1310 and it’s working pretty fine, except for the audio. I have tried many drivers and none worked. Dell support says they don’t have 64 bit drivers for Vostro…
