Answer 1

Welcome Jook _,

I know how frustrating it can be when you want to enable the Aero (Aero Glass) visual effects on your Dell Vostro 15 3549 running Windows 7. 

Since Windows 7 is End of Service, this product has been EOS, but you can still try these workaround steps below:  

Option 1: Verify that your Windows 7 edition supports Aero  

• Right‑click on the desktop 
• Select Personalize 
• Check whether Aero Themes are available 

Option 2: Check and update the graphics driver  

• Open Device Manager from the Start menu 
• Expand Display adapters 
• Right‑click your graphics device and select Update Driver 
• Install a driver that supports Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM)  

Option 3: Ensure Desktop Window Manager service is enabled  

• Press Windows key + R > type: services.msc and press Enter 
• Locate Desktop Window Manager Session Manager 
• Make sure the Startup type is set to Automatic and the service is running 

Option 4: Apply an Aero-compatible theme  

• Right‑click on the desktop 
• Select Personalize 
• Choose one of the default Windows Aero themes 
• Avoid High Contrast themes, as they disable Aero effects 

Option 5: Recalculate Windows Experience Index  

• Open Control Panel 
• Select System 
• Select Windows Experience Index 
• Click Re-run the assessment 
• Aero typically requires a graphics subscore of 3.0 or higher 

I really hope that the information I gave above was helpful to you. Please feel free to reply below and let me know if you have further concern on this matter.
