old OptiPlex 755 Software

Hi, I am looking for a recovery image, or at least software discs for an old Dell OptiPlex 755 that I obtained at a thrift store recently. The original install has been deleted, and it is currently running Windows 7 Professional the previous owner removed all the stickers, including the Windows Vista Home Basic COA, meaning there is no product key sticker. I will include a link to the CSV file of the system's original configuration. My Service Tag is  <Private data removed from public view. DELL-Admin>

Hi

I use Belarc Advisor to print out details of my system.

What are you hoping to achieve?

Windows Vista was pretty poor IMHO and W7 was superior to anything prior.

A linux would run reasonably well....

  • Linux Mint

  • Ubuntu
  • Raspberry Pi Desktop
  • Fedora
  • MX Linux
  • Manjaro

Not original dell, but may be useful (TREAT WITH CAUTION)...
