Have tried all the "quick" fixes I am comfortable with off of internet. There is TMI to proceed with along those lines unless I absolutely have to and was hoping somebody would have pertinent, focused input. Just acquired a DELL 970 8GB/1TB & have no idea what it was used for originally. When I checked Installed Updates I found that, minus an update (KB2685811) Kernel-Mode Driver Framework v1.11 which had installed on 4/2/21, there are no other Updates listed after January 2017 and there are only about 20 updates listed total since placed in service in 2010. Obviously, whomever had this rig did not pay any attention to it which leaves me with the thought that this was a task-dedicated unit and not used in a regular desktop fashion.
I do connect to the internet and have no problems downloading anything else. I also found that the BIOS revision is @ A-13 - the latest I could find was A-22, but still, my bios is 9 revisions short of current. Any help or direction would be appreciated. I have a disc, but it is for the OS only....
