Dell XPS Desktop 8910 repairs and upgrades
Power supply repair
We test and replace failed power supplies. Many branded desktops use a manufacturer-specific unit, which we match to the exact chassis.
Memory upgrade
The Dell XPS Desktop 8910 uses standard desktop memory. We check the board's limits and fit matched modules.
Windows repair and reinstall
This model does not meet Microsoft's Windows 11 requirements, and Windows 10 reached end of support in October 2025. We can advise on the realistic options, including a lightweight Linux or ChromeOS Flex installation.
SSD and storage upgrade
The Dell XPS Desktop 8910 has room for SATA drives and, on most boards, an M.2 SSD. The usual upgrade is an SSD for Windows and programs with the old drive kept for storage.
Price confirmed before work starts
We also carry out motherboard repair, overheating and fan repair, virus removal on the Dell XPS Desktop 8910, along with no-picture and no-boot diagnosis, port repair, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card replacement and data transfer to a new PC.
Notes from the workshop
- Adding an SSD as the boot drive and keeping the original hard drive for storage is the usual upgrade.
- XPS and Inspiron desktops use some Dell-specific parts, including the power supply on several generations, so upgrades need checking against the chassis first.

Questions
Can the SSD or memory in the Dell XPS Desktop 8910 be upgraded?
Drives can be added or replaced. Memory uses standard slots and can be increased.
My Dell XPS Desktop 8910 will not turn on. Is my data lost?
Usually not. The drive is separate from the fault in most cases, and we can remove it and copy your files even if the machine itself is not worth repairing.
Where do I find the model number on my desktop PC?
The model is on a label on the back, side or underside of the machine. Dell machines also carry a 7-character Service Tag, which identifies the exact build. For this model, look for 8910.
Can the Dell XPS Desktop 8910 run Windows 11?
Not officially. It does not meet Microsoft's processor and security requirements.
