Technical specifications
For future versions of Windows 10, Dell will continue to test the commercial platform with coming Windows 10 releases during device production and for five years post-production, including both fall and spring releases from Microsoft.
Please reference the Dell Windows as a Service (WaaS) website for additional information on N-2 and 5 year Windows OS supportability. Website can be found at this link:
Platforms Qualified on specific versions of Windows 10
This website also includes a matrix of other platforms qualified on specific versions of Windows 10.
Memory
NOTE: A multiple-DIMM memory option is recommended to prevent any performance reduction. If the system configuration includes integrated graphics, consider selecting 2 or more DIMMs.
NOTE: Memory modules should be installed in pairs of matched memory size, speed, and technology. If the memory modules are not installed in matched pairs, the computer continues to operate, but with a slight reduction in performance. The entire memory range is available to 64-bit operating systems.

System setup
CAUTION: Unless you are an expert computer user, do not change the settings in the BIOS Setup program. Certain changes can make your computer work incorrectly.
NOTE: Before you change BIOS Setup program, it is recommended that you write down the BIOS Setup program screen information for future reference.
Use the BIOS Setup program for the following purposes: · Get information about the hardware installed in your computer, such as the amount of RAM and the size of the hard drive. · Change the system configuration information. · Set or change a user-selectable option, such as the user password, type of hard drive installed, and enabling or disabling base devices.
Topics:
· Boot menu · Boot Sequence · Navigation keys · System setup options · Updating the BIOS in Windows · System and setup password
Boot menu
To initiate a one-time boot menu with a list of the valid boot devices for the system, press <F12> when the Dell logo is displayed. Diagnostics and BIOS Setup options are also in this menu. The devices that are listed on the boot menu depend on the bootable devices in the system. This menu is useful when you are attempting to boot to a particular device or to bring up the diagnostics for the system. Using the boot menu, do not change the boot order that is stored in the BIOS. The options are: · Legacy External Device Boot
Onboard NIC · UEFI Boot:
UEFI: TOSHIBA MQ01ACF050 · Other Options:
BIOS Setup Device Configuration BIOS Flash Update Diagnostics Intel (R) Management Engine BIOS Extension (MEBx) Change Boot Mode Settings
Boot Sequence
Boot sequence enables you to bypass the System Setupdefined boot device order and boot directly to a specific device (for example: optical drive or hard drive).
