Hello everyone my name is Mohammad Jawad, and I want to know that what pc am I using, it an dell optiplx small desktop and it came with intel core to duo 1.60 ghz and 1 gb ddr2 ram and windows vista. I have upgraded the ram 1 gb to 4 gb and windows to Windows 10 pro, now I want to upgrade it's processor but it doesn't have model number sticker can you tell me please what it's model number what processor is supported to upgrade it..
It is not practical to install a new processor on a Vista computer. You have made all the good upgrades already. Use it as is until you can buy a new one.
The processor depends on the model motherboard you have, not the specific model. That should be printed on the board. You will not be able to get a new replacement processor for the older model and it would not make any obvious difference in performance even if you could find one.

There should be a service tag number on the system, possibly at the back. If you go to the Dell support page for your region and type in that tag number you can see the configuration of your system including the model. If you still do not see a tag with that information then follow the instructions on the following page to get the tag number.
