OK, thanks very much for checking. The other option I have is to get a new license for Windows 10 and put that in as a key when I do the install or when I activate Windows 10, which would support Microsoft. So, three choices. Rebeccah

Thanks, mooms and Jan. I plan to upgrade my SSD to 1TB so I can do a dual-boot, and that won't be for probably another month (I'm in the middle of a couple of projects that can't be put on hold while I tinker), so the new update should be out by then. Good to know Win 10 runs fine on the M4600, there was some contradictory information out there on the www about that. And it will be great if the Win 7 product key gets me free Windows 10 -- but I thought from way back when, that it was an either-or deal? You could use the key either on Win 7 or on Win 10, but not both? Or was that an earlier upgrade deal? And with Win 7 no longer supported, does it matter? It's not like I care if Win 7 updates are blocked, since there aren't any, any more. M4600 service tag is 5691MQ1. Express Service Code is 11261901385. T5500 service tag is 4WLJYQ1. Express Service Code is 10678250377. Rebeccah

Hi, I have a Dell Precision M4600 with Windows 7 Ultimate and a Dell Precision T5500 with Windows 7 Pro. Both were purchased from authorized refurbishers, so I don't know if this operating system was available for them originally. Assuming it was, though, am I correct that the original ISO image would not have had SP1? They did come from the refurbisher with SP1. I'm not seeing any place to download an installer for SP1 alone, now that MS is no longer supporting Windows 7. Can I use the Windows 7 (August 2018) ISO to get the most recent updates, or do I need to use the Dell ISOs? Also, would it be possible to add Win 10 as a second OS using one of these ISO's, or do I need to purchase a retail copy? It's been a LONG time since I've installed an OS from installation media. Thanks, Rebeccah
