    Upgrade Dell Optiplex 7040


    I have a Dell Optiplex 7040 with TPM 1.2 enabled and see that I can upgrade it to TPM 2.0 but it still has an Intell Core i7-6700 CPU that prevents me from upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Can the CPU be added to the list of compatible processors and I be notified when it has? If not, can you tell me another CPU that works on a Dell Optiplex 7040 that is compatible?

    :)

    Dell Optiplex 7040 Windows 8.1 mic undetectable

    Hi Microsoft,

    We have a question associated with the mic recognition problem facing windows 8.1 PCs, As pandemic started we are using the MS team for meetings in our Organization but only users who have desktop machines are not able to use handsfree to attend meetings.
    Please share the solution so we can accommodate users accordingly. Even we updated sound drivers and Checkout for any mic option is diable in the settings but not any solution found, THese systems mic working fine if we upgrade any system to Windows 10 but
    not in windows 8.1. Kindly provide us a proper solution.

    Note: Dell Optiplex 3020, 9020 & 7040 we have with Windows 8.1 PCs.

    Upgrade Dell Optiplex 7040

    network adapter missing after installing windows 10 pro on Dell Optiplex 7040

    Hi,

    Just bought e new desktop Dell OptiPlex 7040.

    On the salestag was written "with Windows 7/Windows 10 pro.

    When starting pc turns out it is with windows 7 pro.

    With the purchase inside the box comes a cd with window 10 pro on it that says "already installed on your computer".

    Strange. After getting help with Del, I was able to install windows 10 pro on my PC it took a lot of time though.

    Now there is a bigger problem: NO INTERNET CONNECTION.

    The pc does not see any network adapter/drivers anymore while in windows 10.

    I treid several suggestions on the internet, non helped so far.

    Can anyone help me out with this?

    Best regards

    Martin
