    Simple question, not yet acquired one, but would if it can run 7.

    I know it is obviously not officially supported, neither is the 7050, but it runs fine after some driver hacking.

    For the ones having reading problems, I didn't ask if I should use 10, NOT INTERESTED, NOT HAPPENING!

    So has anyone done it yet?

    Why a Optiplex and not a DIY build?

    Really, a simple and logical question. If you want to use Windows 7, why not choose a computer that is made for Windows 7?
    Moreover, they are amazingly cheap, but very good things.

    The Dell OptiPlex 7050 is a 6th and 7th generation Intel model and has downloadable driver support for Windows 7 64-bit.
    The Dell OptiPlex 7060 is an 8th generation Intel model and does not have downloadable driver support for Windows 7 64-bit.
    If you want to avoid any installation or driver issues with Windows 7 64-bit, select the 7050 or another 6th generation Intel model.
    I personally prefer the 6th and 7th generation Intel Dell Precision T3620 for Windows 7 64-bit.
