Dell computer with no input capability!
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 ---
but the computer does not recognize anything plugged
into the USB slot !
Further more, it has Windows 10 installed which
doesn't have "Control Panel (at least none I could find)
So how do we do anything? We can access internet sites
It doesn't even have Internet Explorer!
So what to do with the thing?

For control panel click on the search icon and type Control, this
should bring it up, I keep a shortcut on the desktop as I use it Often.

The trend is not to have optical dvd drives anymore, the alternative
are USB drives, You can add an external USB drive if you need it.

I may be wrong but I was sure that Internet Explorer 11 came with
Windows 10, Unless the newer version only comes with Edge.

The USB port should recognize any USB device, ONE USB port is totatly
unacceptable. My desktop has 8.

If it were me I would return it and ask them for a properly working
Computer.
I hope that helps a little, Others may pitch in and try and help you
out also.

BTW If you posted the model number it would make it easier to help.

There is no "Control Panel" --at least not visibly --and "Search" gets
nothing

The command is normally "control.exe". Typing "control" in Cortana
should have found it.

If you had Windows10-S, I don't know what the symptoms would be.
And whether there are actually any EXE files on it... at all.
It's not supposed to run legacy software. But since so far,
I could only find four Surface products with Windows10-S
on them, you should be pretty safe.

I'd have tested Windows10-S by now, if there was a DVD for it :-)
