Hello. I’m looking for advice on getting my Dell Wyse Mini back to its original state. It runs Windows 7 Embedded and is stored in a former office now closed. I need to reset it to factory defaults, just installing Windows again without any extra software. Anyone have suggestions on how to do this or use recovery options?

Obtain a Windows 7 installation from Microsoft, create a bootable USB drive, format it, reinstall the OS, update drivers, and complete the process. Since Windows 7 embedded no longer receives support, using it is not recommended. An alternative could be a Windows 10 32-bit version, which offers a similar setup method.

Do you know if you can install Windows 10? I believed it’s only available as Windows 7 Embedded, so changing it might not be possible.

You have the flexibility to run any operating system on it. It's essentially a standard computer, no matter how basic it may seem. Seven years old is outdated—opt for something newer. Ten is a reliable choice.

It won't fit in its current setup. The device only has 16GB of storage, which isn't enough for Windows 10. Even after an upgrade, it will likely struggle with performance—Netflix in 720p probably won’t work well because of the weak CPU. Maybe it’s better to sell it and find a more capable model on eBay.
