F12 boot DVD wont work if secure boot is ON in bios.
It also doesn't tend to work if the region code for your dvd isn't set.
If you use USB2 16 gig or 32 gig FAT32 flash drive you can make a bootable installer for windows 10 free.
https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Cruzer-Glide-Flash-SDCZ60-032G/dp/B00XJXYONO/
you need to create installation media to install Windows 10 on a different PC, see Using the tool to create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file) to install Windows 10 on a different PC
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO

You F12 boot and install windows10 without a key.
Then you download ALL the windows 10 drivers in a single cab file.
https://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER04897495M/1/9020-WIN10-A05-6TD3V.CAB
You move the cab file to C:\ my documents folder
You then install 7zip

You then right click the CAB file and with 7zip you say EXTRACT here
You then update drivers in device manager by right clicking errors and saying update from my pc instead of the internet.

The PC was purchased used from a local eBay seller , who specializes in government surplus, so this item is no longer federal
