Lenovo V570 Windows 7/XP Drivers

Windows XP driver version not provided, only windows 7 driver version information available. For windows XP, you can check the driver version during installation or by looking at the extracted driver folder.
Windows XP 64-bit:  Since no specific drivers (32-bit or 64-bit) mentioned on the official download page, I can say that all of the drivers compatible with 32-bit windows XP, but maybe not for 64-bit for certain drivers such as Video and Chipset.
On the other hand, Lenovo mentioned specific drivers for windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit. Not all downloads listed here, I only re-build the download list base on the important/essential drivers. If you have any problems do let me know.

Recommended OS : Windows 7 64-bit
Officially Support : Windows XP 32-bit, Windows XP 64-bit , Windows 7 32-bit, Windows 7 64-bit
Officially Upgrade available: Support Available for windows 8 upgrade. No windows 8.1 upgrade announce yet.

Windows 8 Note : 
Most of the drivers automatically installed in windows 8, You only need to install certain drivers which I already add in the download List below. If there are no windows 8 drivers availble for certain driver such as audio, it means you don;t need to install it since it is already installed along windows 8 installation/upgrade.

Windows 8.1 Upgrade:
Windows 7 and Windows 8 Drivers normally works with windows 8.1. But since it is not yet tested there are no details about the bugs/glitch you may encountered such as using Biometric software to log in using your fingerprint. If you test it with windows 8 do share your feedback, experience and thought about it here.

Compatibility
All drivers listed here is compatible with the following Model:
Lenovo B470, B570, V370, V470, V570
Windows XP and Windows 7 32-bit/64-bit.

Toshiba Satellite C640 Windows 7 Drivers

Series: Toshiba satellite C series
Model : Toshiba Satellite C640
Supported Model: Support all C640 series  (example: PSC00E)

Drivers posted base on request for: C640-11N by Rowell De Lara

Installation Note:
1. Intel chipset, Intel Rapid storage technology and Mei driver only applicable for Satellite  with Intel processor. Model with AMD processor doesn't require chipset driver installation.

2. Officially only 64-bit driver version provided, I already check few drivers and notice the 64-bit package also contain 32-bit driver package. From my experience all drivers come with both 32 and 64-bit package except for Graphic which most of the times design for specific 32-bit or 64-bit.

3. It is strongly recommend to use 64-bit version to get maximum performance.

4. Some application and utility remove from this driver list base on low importance level.

5. There are 3 applicable graphics drivers, choose base on your specific model. I already put a note which graphic refer to which model. If you have problem to know what is your C640 specific model number, you can check on the back sticker of your model. Note for line that start with PSC..., example PSC2UE

HP Mini 110-4108TU Drivers for Windows XP/7

HP Mini 110-4108TU require lightweight Operating system for the best performance. It is recommended to use windows XP 32-bit or Windows 7 32-bit. If you plan to use 64-bit Operating system I don't think it is a wise choice because this notebook known for suppoting only up to 2GB of RAM. Only install 64-bit Operating system if you can upgrade it to 4GB or above.

All drivers listed here is base on drivers provided by HP, but for windows XP it is not listed on official website but available for download. Here I make a quick list drivers you will need for windows XP and Windows 7.

Notes:
Install all drivers, except wireless, you need to choose - broadcom or Ralink or atheros (base on your specification).

Patch:
Must be installed before audio driver! only for windows XP!

Acer Aspire 4736z Drivers for WIndows XP/Vista/7/8

Today my cousin sent me an Acer notebook and ask me to check it because it is too slow and often not responding. I found that the system was in complete mess with too many security and registry optimizer program. So I decide to install windows 7 32-bit (fresh install) since it only have 2GB of RAM. I choose windows 7 over XP and Vista because she used to work with windows 7.
