Hello,

you have bought a configuration without VPro technology manufacturer enable, I suggest you contact him to buy this feature.

AMTversion:9.5.61.3012,

"

Contact dell or look in the dell bios.

Hello,

Yes I saw that but Dell and even the manufacturers like LENOVO, Fujitsu ... can disable the Intel VPro system management function. For example at Dell we can buy XPS and removed this option.

Emilio

[AlHill]

Yes, they can. WHich is why the OP needs to contact Dell.

That's is correct... after I ran Intel Discovery tool it says in that log that AMT is present but disabled.
