I just got a new (refurbished) headless Dell workstation (win10 OS).

I need a monitor to do the initial set up. But I don't have any stand alone monitors... I have an old laptop (Ubuntu OS) and an "all in one" desktop (win10 OS)

Without buying a new monitor, how can I set up the new computer?

I'm open to buying a cheap 7" monitor with a VGA connection if there's no way to get the computer set up. Any recommendations?

Google said to SSH into it, but I don't know the computer name or IP address.... Is this possible? nostr:nprofile1qqsyawyrzrttfmv4cmtx5w2m85702kdct7hv3amfrkhagpdf9cz46mgprpmhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcpydmhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef08ankcmmzv9kr6ctvds20l3q3

Thanks for any assistance🙏🫂

Better to just buy a cheap secondhand monitor, you’ll probably gonna need it in the future too when problems arise…

Agreed... I got a 7inch monitor for $35.... I live in a tiny apartment and move frequently so I'm not into accumulating things. 🙏🫂
