Quickest way, click the search on taskbar next to windows icon, type cmd right click on the command box and select Run as Administrator, then retype in the black box, ipconfig /registerdns press enter You will get a message about viewing results in the event viewer in 15 min which is normal.
Ok, if you can scroll down the list of all programs(icon on left) on the start, Windows System is where the Command Prompt can be right clicked, more, run as administrator...

I found the Search Box. Right Click on the empty Task Bar, mouse-over Cortana, Click on Show Search Box.
I entered cmd and selected as you suggested. In the Command Prompt, I entered ipconfig /registerdns and pressed Enter. It instructed me to wait for 15 minutes.
I waited for 20 minutes
Register DNS – 15 Minutes

Ok, I think you should be fixed to the point you can focus on making sure you have something for adware/malware to compliment Windows Defender and you mentioned your date would not stay changed?

I'll contact Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and have them transfer my account to this computer.
I reset the time about an hour ago, and it is holding.
I just restarted again. The pattern is that after Restarting, things go well as far as accessing the Internet and speed for 10 to 15 minutes, then things stop functioning. I get the message: "Can't reach that Page", and it gets extremely slow. I'll keep trying to get Windows Updates -- maybe that will fix the problem.
Thanks a million to you and the other guys who helped me get the computer working. I'll put you in for a raise.
The condition of the operating system and registry areunknown.
In case you want to start with a clean install check to make sure that windows is properly licensed.
Open administrative command prompt and type:

I might end up doing a Clean Install if things don't gradually improve. I might be back here looking for a way to speed up the computer. I'll look into what you suggested about going to Dell Support to install a driver.
Thanks for all of your suggestions.
