Frequently asked questions

What does the warranty cover?

Our warranty covers all hardware faults, but please note it doesn’t cover accidental damage or software issues. However, we’re here to help with technical support for those matters!

What is a refurbished device?

A refurbished device is a pre-owned item that has been restored to meet high-quality standards. At Reboot IT, we adhere to strict quality guidelines, ensuring that our refurbished products are not the same as used or secondhand items. We meticulously clean, test, and assess each device, replacing worn parts with high-quality components.

Unlike used items, which lack guarantees and rely solely on the seller's word regarding condition, refurbished devices come with assurance of quality and reliability.

Description

Dell OptiPlex 7040 SFF — Quad-Core Desktop with NVMe SSD, DVD-RW & Win 10 Pro

The Dell OptiPlex 7040 Small Form Factor packs a 6th Generation Intel Core i5, fast NVMe SSD storage, and a built-in DVD/RW drive into a compact chassis running Windows 10 Pro — backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

Key Benefits

  • Intel Core i5-6500 Quad-Core (6th Gen): 4 cores at 3.2GHz base (3.6GHz Turbo) — reliable business performance for office applications, multi-tab browsing, and video conferencing.
  • 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD: M.2 PCIe Class 40 drive delivers fast boot times and snappy application loading across all business workflows.
  • Built-in DVD/RW Drive: Integrated optical drive for reading and burning CDs and DVDs — increasingly rare in compact desktops and useful for legacy software and archiving.
  • Dual Monitor Support: Two DisplayPort 1.2 outputs plus HDMI — run three displays simultaneously or choose your preferred connection type.
  • 10 USB Ports: Six USB 3.0 + four USB 2.0 for keyboards, mice, headsets, external drives, and other peripherals without hub adapters.
  • Windows 11 Upgrade Eligible: Includes TPM 2.0 and meets Windows 11 minimum requirements — upgrade free via Windows Update when ready.

Performance in Use

The i5-6500’s quad cores handle standard office workloads — Microsoft 365, accounting software, web-based CRMs, and video calls — with consistent, predictable performance. The Skylake architecture remains a reliable platform for business applications that don’t demand cutting-edge compute.

The NVMe SSD brings a meaningful responsiveness upgrade over older SATA-based machines. Windows 10 Pro boots quickly, large documents open without delay, and background processes like antivirus scans and Windows Update don’t noticeably impact foreground performance. For POS systems, reception terminals, and standard corporate desktops, it’s a solid, dependable choice.

The built-in DVD/RW drive is a practical differentiator. Many organisations still rely on optical media for software distribution, compliance archiving, and training materials — and finding it in a compact SFF form factor is genuinely useful for businesses that haven’t fully transitioned to cloud-based workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this be upgraded to Windows 11?

Yes. The OptiPlex 7040 includes TPM 2.0 and meets all Windows 11 minimum requirements. Upgrade for free via Settings → Windows Update when ready — no hardware changes needed.

Does the DVD drive read and write?

Yes. The integrated DVD±RW SuperMulti drive reads and burns CDs and DVDs, supporting data archiving, legacy software installation, and media playback.

Can I connect two monitors?

Yes. Two DisplayPort 1.2 outputs support dual-monitor configurations at Full HD. The HDMI port provides a third option for mixed display setups.

Does it have Wi-Fi?

The standard configuration uses Gigabit Ethernet. A USB Wi-Fi adapter can be plugged into any of the 10 USB ports if wireless connectivity is required.

Can the RAM or storage be upgraded?

Yes. RAM is upgradeable to 32GB using the two DDR4 DIMM slots, and additional 2.5” SATA bays are available for extra storage.

All-in-one Solution for Home Office

I was looking for an in-expensive all-in-one solution for my home office to replace my existing desktop and monitor. I found this EliteOne 800 on reboot IT for under $200. I wasn't sure what to expect. It arrived within two days!!!! I upgraded the RAM, replaced the HDD and installed Windows 11. This is unbeatable value and was the cheapest price online. Coupled with a 3-month warranty, Reboot IT are by far the best online refurbished retailer I have used. Awesome!

Fair tech for price

Fair tech for price, good specs for era, serves the purpose. The black keyboard is an interesting rubber like texture clearly by design to pad the screen and avoid the keyboard touching. Screen is great. Still looking for magic formula to enable computer use in the bright bright sunshine. Keyboard taps are loud for someone who likes silent touch. The perfect PC has to exist, like build a bear.

Works excellently as advertised.

The laptop was sold with a warning about worn keycaps. In fact they had been obviously vandalised (ex school laptops, perhaps?). The keyboard worked fine, and the rest of the laptop too. I'm using it as a file server, so I don't need the keyboard much. So very pleased, and also pleased with reboot-it's service - as always, excellent, and quick responses to any queries.
