Dell computer with no input capability!


Yes it does.

My wife just bought a New Dell "all in one" computer.
But the thing is bizarre. It has no DVD drive,
nor place to install one. It has one USB port ---


That's your input capability. Get a USB DVD drive.

but the computer does not recognize anything plugged
into the USB slot !


If that's true, it's defective. Return it to where you bought it from.

Further more, it has Windows 10 installed which
doesn't have "Control Panel (at least none I could find)


Yes, it does. It has a "Settings" app as well as the traditional
Control Panel. You have to search for Control Panel, though, as it's
not on the menu by default.

So how do we do anything? We can access internet sites


Well, that's something, isn't it?

It doesn't even have Internet Explorer!


Well, yes it does, but it also has Edge, and you can install any other
web browser you like.

So what to do with the thing?


You do most anything any other computer does, just with limited storage
space and expandability. Unless it's broken out of the box, which you
indicate that it is. So, return it and get a different one.

Well---not true. It has NO cd/dvd slot. It has one
USB slot and it doesn't work. It has Internet Explorer. It is Windows
10 and I can find no "control panel" even with "search"..
I would never have it for me, but (are you married?) my wife
insists on an "All In One" computer. As far as I can determine, this
Dell is the only available "all in one" machine.
I tried to contact Dell --- but---yeah, try that!
