I tried calling Dell, but all they would say was that "these computers are not compatible with Windows 10."
How is that even possible? Unless they are running a 16-bit 386 processor with 640K of RAM or something, how could they not be compatible?

BIOS, hardware drivers, older CPU instruction sets.
The idea that software or hardware 'updates' are optional or can be deferred or ignored is no longer valid. We are on an ever moving forward cycle of newer software requiring newer hardware, and the newer software is
not optional. Security, stability, cloud services, etc all require the OS, drivers and apps to be maintained to 'current' versions. Endlessly.
Old hardware quickly becomes unsupported hardware. Unsupported hardware becomes risky hardware.
Buy or rent new hardware on a continuous cycle. The business, software and Internet architectures effectively demand it be this way.
