    Yes.  Laptops are notorious for having horrible compatibility with
anything other than the OS they are shipped with.  This is because to
cram so much into so little space many Laptop manufacturers put in tons
of proprietary hardware then only code drivers for whatever OS they
intend to ship with it.  Worse still they only ship the drivers, never
really releasing them.
