Windows 10: I had my motherboard replaced and Dell provided me with a new S/N. However Windows is not...

Well, this.

The mobo was replaced under warranty a couple of years ago but I did not use Windows at the time. Now that the warranty has expired, I want to sell the laptop and I wanted to install Windows 10 on it. I have a physical sticker with the new S/N and some other details. Trying to connect to either Dell or Microsoft does not yield any result.

Dell Laptop motherboard identification

I work the Dell forums (since 2002) and the Service Tag number is considered personal data and not allowed on the Dell forums.
The Dell spec's do not list any motherboard model/part number(s).

I also agree with Try3 that with an 8 year old laptop it may time to consider a new/newer replacement. Dell considers this a "legacy" model and does not support Win 10 (no drivers) on this model.
