Dream machine Mother board help
« on: March 28, 2022, 12:25:26 am »
Got a dream machine arcade shockingly cheap. It uses a motherboard graphics card and power supply and when I press control alt delete it acts like it running windows but I don't know how to actually get to windows. Any help would be great. There are supposedly no applications running when I do press control alt delete. Also is there a way in the bios f2 screen to find out what motherboard and what graphics card it has?

Hi,

The Windows GUI shell (called Explorer) has possibly been replaced by an arcade front-end.

To recall Explorer, just press (simultaneously) Ctrl-Shift-ESC and the Task Manager should appear. Just fo to the File menu and select Execute a new task. Then, type Explorer and hit the Enter key.

Dude you are awesome. Thank you. That totally worked. Am I able to enter like windows or the desktop or anything like that or does that version of windows not really exist?
