I recently acquired a Dell XPS 410 . It came complete with monitor, keyboard, mouse and all connectors. I fired it up with no problems but a message came up informing me that it was necessary register with Microsoft. I entered the product key and a message came up that essentially said that this Vista pro was not an official product. Another problem is that the Hard drive had been reformatted.
I followed the instructions to purchase another key. While Microsoft was mulling this over I was able to connect to Firefox and peruse the internet. After waiting for at least 20 minutes for Microsoft to answer the unit shut down.
I would like to keep the PC and install Win 10. But Is it possible?
