Click on the network icon in the system tray, select your wireless network, and click Connect. Enter the network password if prompted. Ensure the wireless adapter is enabled in the Network and Sharing Center if you encounter issues.
Regularly clean dust from the vents and fans to prevent overheating. Update your operating system and drivers frequently. Use surge protectors to protect against electrical damage. Perform regular backups of your important data and maintain antivirus software.
Ensure the audio output device is set correctly. Check the volume levels and make sure mute is not enabled. Update audio drivers via Device Manager or Dell Support. If issues persist, run the Windows Troubleshooter for audio problems.
Yes, you can set up dual monitors by connecting each monitor to the desktop's HDMI or DisplayPort outputs. Once connected, go to Display Settings on your desktop to configure the display arrangement and resolution settings as desired.
