The renovated DELL computer comes packaged very professionally with mouse and keyboard. The Windows 7 OS software is already activated right out of the box.  Note, there is no wifi, but one can add a Netgear adaptor very inexpensively. I use a LAN cable to my internet modem to get started. I use the computer primarily for recording over-the-air broadcast TV shows using Windows Media Center which is imbedded in Windows 7 - thus the need for a Windows 7 compatible computer. This fits the bill very nicely. Thank you JSM!
