I believe all dell computers come installed with windows. Sometimes it is pasted on the computer. These usually have windows 3. I have 6 of them. I bought one here 6 weeks ago and it works fine. A local computer technician that works on Dells should bring it right up.

Hi I have bought four of these old office machines. typically they were XP systems. Its pretty easy and available to get an old XP complete restore disc. The machines will run Windows 7 if you upgrade the flash memory to at lease 2GB. 4GB is the machine maximum and is what i Recommend. It will cost about $40.00 for this DDR2 flash memory upgrade. A windows 7 upgrade disc will not help you. What you will need is a windows 7 program disc. Good Luck.

Mine works fine. This is a medical office. Any certified repairman willhave a disc to bring it up. Some of these have the Microsoft label attached showing it has factory software operating software. Thenyou just reload the operating system from Microsoft.doc hollis

Same problem I have.... I bought it through a reseller here in the USA and the product came from China no customer support they send you to forums to download software and drives... I'm ready to give bad reviews. Sorry we are on the same page

Thank you. So I ordered the drive and followed instructions for installing but it is not recognized by Windows 7 and the trouble shooting guide is useless. Then I tried it on a laptop running Vista and it started installing but finally gave up saying to contact the manufacturer. This is the 3rd time I have bought an item based on information from persons who claim to own the product that turned out to be a big mistake

I have a had a similar "No Disc" error and the unit is not even a month old. Any help on this will be appreciated.

Microsoft sent a message that it doesn't recognize it as a legal copy. I've run into this on another computer that my stepson owned a few years ago. Eventually it just locked up and wouldn't work, cost several hundred dollars to get a legal Microsoft window program loaded into it.

It depends on which seller you buy it from. Mine did. Look at the items the seller lists that the PC comes with. A good seller will include a recovery disc with any PC.

You have to check with the vendor for exact configuration available. I got one with Win7 Pro 32bit, pre-installed. It came with a knock-off "Win 7 repair CD" and a DVD with a current "system image" for recovery of the operating system in the event the drive fails.

To activate it, there is a code on the back. You have to register your product to make sure that no one is sending around duplicate copies. If that copy doesn't work then someone has already used that key. I would send a message to who you purchased it, or keep trying to contact windows.

same happened to me, I just got tired and threw it out. I thought the disk was empty, but it is some kind of software for windows 95.. the whole thing is junk

find out who is selling it , If it is a sanctioned Microsoft seller , otherwise you might find yourself with a disk that has a shiny flaking sticker on the disk instead of an inbedded design and although it looks identical in almost every way to the actual product , the moment when your activation key is typed in and it is rejected , then you call microsoft and they tell you it is blocked and you have to buy a legitimate activation key and or copy.

That's the one with no cd drive right? Yeah it works. I loved mine for the two days it worked. Lol I left my computer on over night (idk if that's what broke it and it shouldn't of been a reason either) but when I awoke the following morning my aspire didn't recognize it anymore. 20 bucks down the drain.

Yes, but may want to get a spare hard drive with the win xp os on it, that was the issue i had when i got mine.it was a bit challenging in explaining to the seller what part was damaged, ended up going with another seller to fix the problem twice. Good luck.

I couldn't get it to work at all. The disc they provided didn't have drivers for Win7 and the Web site the directed me to supposedly had the drivers, but no installer software was provided.
