| Windows 7 (32/64) | Good | 64-bit requires no driver injection. |
| Windows 8.1/10 | Limited | Works but no sleep/hibernate. Use legacy boot. |
| Linux (Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12) | Good | Use pci=nomsi kernel parameter. Ethernet works out-of-box. |
| FreeBSD/OpenBSD | Partial | No GMA X4500 acceleration. |
