Yeah Im not gonna do that I wouldnt want to risk it, I know the DVD ROM works I was able to upgrade from disc this morning so I know that it works
Maybe if you remove it and bring it back, the DVD-ROM will let you boot from it as you want. You remove it when your PC is unplug. I don't know if this help but you can try.
Try this first, it's safe, go to device manager, put disk in tray, in device manager go down to DVD CD Drives, click on it, now you see your cd name, right click and choose uninstall, it's safe man, windows will auto install it on reboot, now reboot with DVD in tray, again safe.
Thanks..I am gonna call Dell in the morning, I paid for the warranty I mind as well use it ..Hey can you let me know once I do do a clean install, with these windows game apps and stuff, how do you update them
From what I've seen, "fast startup" makes little or no difference, at least if you're booting from SSD, and it breaks wake on lan. I've also heard it writes a lot of data on every shutdown and therefore wears out SSDs faster. Personally I always turn it off.
Lakerfanalways, power it off. Unplug the power from the back of the tower. Wait about 30 seconds then plug the power back into the tower. Now start typing F2 repeatedly and as fast as you can. While doing that, hit the power button with the other hand.
You are trying correct function keys for Dell XPS 8700 i,e, F2 for bios setup and F12 for boot sequence.
