   The document states 32 bit.   
      
   Microsoft cocks up stuff in their tech data too, but I confirm that it was   
   on a 32 bit Win 7 and 32 bit Win 8.1 system and neither will enter full   
   screen mode.

   You probably don't want to play in this way - but if you loaded Dell   
   drivers, would it still go full screen?  A full image backup is the only   
   safe way to test, and get back to where you are.

   Yes.  Ditto in Vista 32 bit physical machine, unless I'm becoming senile.
