That led me to hunt for the Windows 8.1 Pro license, with a surprising result.įor years we have found the Windows product key on a sticker permanently attached to the CPU case.
I got a batch of new Dell Optiplex PCs for clients this week and decided to reformat the hard drives and install Windows 8.1 immediately, without ever starting Windows 7. Or perhaps the PC industry deserves its constantly declining sales after years of poor choices and the manufacturers’ obsessive focus on delivering underpowered, underpriced, crapware-laden computers and laptops to consumers and businesses.ĭell’s description of the operating system on its Windows 7 computers says: “Windows 7 Professional English/French 64bit (Includes Windows 8.1 Pro license)”. That continues to strike me as wrong in many ways, especially now that Windows 8.1 has been significantly retooled for keyboard and mouse users, but perhaps it suits conservative enterprise buyers. Here’s a tip for people who buy and set up business computers.ĭell sells almost all of its business desktop computers with Windows 7 pre-installed.
