Acer Aspire One AOD270 Drivers Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1

Acer released Windows 7 32-bit support for this model and the reason for 32-bit is Intel GMA 3600/3650, the important issue about this graphic is it only released to work with windows 7 32-bit. Intel, Microsoft Update and Acer dodn't have support for other OS and it is officially state that this graphic design to work with windows 7 32-bit, not 64-bit. This netbook comes with 1GB of RAM. You need Minimum 4GB RAM to run Windows 64-bit or Other 64-bit OS. I already download and checked the drivers files (except audio and bluetooth - the file size is to big), so I re-make the driver list base on actual compatibility provided by each drivers. Some of them support all there OS (windows XP/Vista and 7). You may notice ACER named the driver x86 which refer to 32-bit system but if you check the drivers it also contain 64-bit support. Lastly to complete the list, I check the vendor website for additional support, example the original LAN drivers only support windows 7 32 and 64-bit. So, I just went to Realtek support site and look for download links for windows XP/Vista/8/8.1. They also list out support for other OS such Linux and Window Server/Media Center.

My recommendation : Choose windows 7 32-bit or Lightweight OS such as Linux Mint

Notes For Upgrading into Windows 7.
Acer Aspire 5315 comes with Windows Vista or Windows XP Operating system. So, if we upgrade it into windows 7, most of the drivers automatically installed. Most Acer model which design for Windows Vista need to install Card Reader and CIR driver while other drivers already installed along with windows 7 installation or windows automatic updates. Here I listed all drivers for windows 7 upgrade. You may choose which to install base on which drivers missing or install all drivers.
