Thanks for your answer! Yes, I'm aware that 8th gen is Windows 10+, but with backported generic drivers from Windows 8 + Legacy Boot support (DELL is one of the few companies that still support Legacy Boot in BIOS settings) it would work. So, about the MX130... I found this comment on Quora: "The MX130 is essentially the same 940MX (ie, the same old GM108 Maxwell chip) renamed to fit the naming convention of the current mainstream GPU linup, alongside the MX110 (renamed 920MX)". Do you think it would work as same as GTX 970, 980, 980 Ti and Titan XP did after inf modding? (since they also didn't support Windows XP) I mean, someone managed to find the correct SectionIDs for those cards, even though GTX 960 (which is the last card supporting Windows XP officially) had GM206 as its chip, and the inf modder managed to get GM204 (GTX 970 and GTX 980) and GM200 (GTX 980 Ti and GTX TITAN X) working under Windows XP. But we're talking about the same chip (GM108) in this case! Maybe it would worth the risk...

[Moved] I need some help, please! I'm looking for a laptop for college and light gaming use, and recently, found out that a DELL Inspiron 15 5584 (didn't ordered yet though) with a MX130 GPU card would fit my needs, and found out too that MX130 is a Maxwell-based card (first generation though, just like GTX 750 Ti), so theoretically, it could work under Windows XP (on which I hope so). So, I have downloaded "368.81-desktop-winxp-32bit-international.exe" graphics driver and extracted its files, and then, edited nvdmi.inf (which has DELL's OEM graphics cards) where it lists Geforce 840M and Geforce 940MX (both based on the same chip, which is GM108S). And 940MX is the closest to MX130, since it also has tha same chip variant as MX130, N16S-GTR-S-A2. So, my question is: Would I get MX130 to work under Windows XP using the same SectionID from DELL'S OEM driver, 019, as 940MX does? I'll upload the print the seller sent to me.

Hi everyone! I need help with .inf modding. I'm planning to purchase a DELL Inspiron 15 5584 (which has a MX130) for college use and some light gaming here and there. And yesterday I found out that MX130 is a Maxwell-based GPU, whose architecture was the last one supporting Windows XP. After some research, I did find out that MX130's chip is the same as Geforce 940MX (N16S-GTR-S-A2), which DELL added support up to 368.81 driver. So I downloaded 368.81-desktop-winxp-32bit-international and extracted its files using 7-Zip and opened nvdmi.inf (which has DELL's OEM hardware IDs). In there, 940MX has 6 variants using the same SectionID, 019. So, my question is: Can I get it working under Windows XP using "Section019" as SectionID for MX130? I'm attaching a GPU-Z print (that the seller sent to me) containing all specs, including Device ID and such. Please, I need help! PS.
