This is just a normal monitor and it would need a desktop to work as a complete system. You can check the Dell all-in-one that has all the parts integrated within the monitor: https://bit.ly/399cDnF
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, you can't run Windows on this monitor as it doesn't feature the built-in processor and additional electronics needed to support the Windows operating system. If your'e intent on buying a monitor, then what you need is a Windows-capable PC that will connect to the monitor via HDMI, DisplayPort or VGA, and will also support the mouse and keyboard inputs, so either a desktop PC or even a laptop or tablet-style computer. Those have smaller built-in monitors, but most can connect to a larger display like a monitor or even in many cases a flat screen TV. Dell or Best Buy may carry an all-in-one device that runs Windows and also features a larger monitor, but I'm not sure. I'd suggest calling Dell or Best Buy and speaking with a sales agent that can guide you to the right solution. Good luck!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You would have to plug this monitor into a PC or into a laptop. It’s basically just a screen for your other devices. As for the second question regarding Dell products, I will defer to Dell answering that on
