			In recent months, I've kind of been neglecting my home Active Directory network and don't have much time to maintain it or mess around with it anymore, so I decided to just do a fresh Windows install, with Windows 11 this time, thanks to it being so easy to bypass the requirements for Windows 11.

The Dell Optiplex 390 is a business-oriented desktop computer from 2011. Dell had a couple of configurations that could be bought originally. Either an Intel Core i3-2120 or a Core i5-2400 could be chosen from for the processor. For the operating system, it was either Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate. Up to 8 GB of DDR3 memory could be installed, Intel HD Graphics, a 512 MB AMD Radeon HD 6350, or a 1 GB AMD Radeon HD 6450 could be chosen from too.

== Collection Specifics ==
I bought this Optiplex 390 for $50 from the [https://cfo.asu.edu/surplus Arizona State University Surplus Store] in January of 2020. This meant it was my main desktop computer for a short time before I replaced it with my own [[DIYPC Zondda-O|custom built PC]].

Originally, this computer would've shipped with Windows 7 as previously mentioned. Since Dell still hosts recovery media for their Windows 7 and newer computers, it was easy to reinstall the OEM Windows installation. That's what I did when I first got the computer. I eventually upgraded it to Windows 10 since Windows 7 support ended on January 14, 2020. Now, this Optiplex still runs Windows 10 and is a part of my home Active Directory network.
