A:AnswerI'm bringing mine back because you need a special wires to connect the monitor and a monitor that takes the special wires. Guess I could upgrade, but I'll just bring it back and get something I like, wanted to go a little cheap but by the time I buy everything I need to use it would be cheaper to buy a better one which I should have done to start, Dell support was no help at all
A:AnswerI did my own transferring from my old computer to my new computer. Get a portable hard drive or large-capacity portable SSD or flash drive. (I had a 2TB portable HD, but anything 512GB or larger will do.) Copy/paste anything from your old computer which can't easily be downloaded or installed from a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM to the portable storage medium. Then attach the portable storage medium to the Dell tower AFTER basic setup is complete, and copy/paste from the portable storage medium to the Dell tower. Just make sure you're copy/pasting to the equivalent of where you were used to accessing things on your old computer. (F.ex., Documents should be copy/pasted to Documents, anything which was in Program Files x86 should be copy/pasted to Program Files x86, etc.) If your old computer was pre-Windows 11, download current drivers for any peripherals such as printers, rather than installing old drivers from a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM.
I was able to install an old version of MS Word from the original media (don't recall if it was a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM) without any problems. You will get "encouraged" to spring for an MS Office 365 subscription during the hardware setup (a trial version is pre-installed). If you're comfortable with the MS Office version you were using on your old computer, though (and for which you still have the original discs), go ahead and install that; you'll be fine.
A:AnswerYes, the RAM on this desktop can be upgraded to 16 GB with a compatible RAM module in any one of the following configurations: 16 GB, 1 x 16 GB, DDR4, 3200 MHz or 16 GB, 2 x 8 GB, dual-channel DDR4, 3200 MHz. The maximum RAM this desktop supports is 64 GB in the following configuration: 64 GB, 2 x 32 GB, dual-channel DDR4, 3200 MHz. For more details, we recommend contacting the Dell technical support team for assistance after purchase. They are available on Facebook and Twitter(@Dellcares).
A:AnswerI think it includes keyboard and mouse, but no monitor. Ours was open package and didn't have anything besides the system unit, but that was enough for us, we reused old ones from previous computer.
A:AnswerThe stock system has 1 undedicated SATA signal port, with corresponding single power port on the power supply, and appears to have a single mounting spot (space where 4 screws line up to 3.5 inch disk mount points) inside. There's room for more, but no provision for any more (physical mount, nor available SATA connections, though you certainly could add a pci-e SATA card and a SATA power pigtail to the power supply, but you'd have to improvise a way to mount that 2nd physical drive. Of course if you don't need optical drive you can remove it and use that location for a 2nd 3.5 inch drive.
Too bad; the 512MB SSD could get filled pretty quickly, I wish they'd allowed for at least 2 other 3.5 inch drives. I like to have a backup drive plus a large mechanical drive for large files in addition to the SSD.
A:AnswerThis desktop can be connected to the Dell SP2208WFP monitor through the HDMI port using a compatible HDMI cable. For technical assistance, you may also reach out to the Dell Technical Support team. They are available on Facebook and Twitter(@Dellcares).
A:AnswerNot really. The power supply that comes with this PC is only 180w and does not come with any cables to power a decent graphics card. It can do something like a GT 1030 (which doesn’t require an extra power cable) but not an RTX 3050 (which does)
A:AnswerThis desktop comes with one DisplayPort 1.4a port (HBR2) and one HDMI 1.4b port (1920 x 1200 @60Hz max resolution), monitor compatible with these ports can be connected to this desktop.
