I did the start> device manager> and found out all the information on my laptop ( Dell Studio Laptop 1537) and went to the amd website to update my drivers. I noticed there wasn't any option or sight of windows vista on the website when it came to updating drivers. (my laptop has windows vista)
some information i know about my drivers
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 series
Chip type: ATI Radeon Graphics Processor (0x95C4)
DAC type: Internal DAC (400 mhz)

I didn't see the above anywhere on the AMD website, it had everything but. I was wondering what that means or if anyone can help me find how to update them?
ALSO will buying windows 8 make a difference? Before you say- buy a new computer. I can't afford that at the moment, but eventually probably in the winter I will. Should I invest $20 into buying windows 8? will it make any type of difference?
I am currently trying to play StarDew Valley and when downloading and ready to play an error message occured saying (No suitable graphics card found) but I checked the requirements and was pretty sure I met it? Anyone help?

I tried that, my model wasn't on there. I believe they had 3300 and 3200 but not 3400. Really weird, and frustrating. I ended up finding the drivers and downloaded them. Gonna try and see if the game runs now! Thanks for the response though!

Like you I could not find the 3400 driver at AMD, so you might try their autodetect tool:
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/auto-detect-tool

Lastly, I found this site more helpful than Dell's for these older laptops. Dell just gives support for the machine as built using Vista, but when we load a new OS we need new drivers and Dell is mute. This site has helpful suggestions and finds useful tricks for older Dell laptops, in your case the 1537. They even show how to get Win 10 going on it.
