This saves a copy you can reinstall later. The choice of OS dramatically affects driver availability
The choice of OS dramatically affects driver availability. For the PCG-41213W, Windows 7 64-bit offers the best compatibility, as most official drivers were written for it. Windows 10 may work with a mix of Vista/7 drivers, but users must disable driver signature enforcement during installation. Linux distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, Linux Mint) often provide better legacy support out-of-the-box, with open-source drivers detecting the Intel chipset, audio, and even the webcam without manual intervention—though Sony-specific hotkeys may still require custom scripts.
