However if this was mine I may inventory it and see if it makes sense to get some barebones to re-cycle what I can to the next PC.

I have a Dell Inspiron One 19 that has a cracked screen. It is an all in one computer & it does not have a way to connect an external screen. There is no VGA, DVI or HDMI connection. I also have a USB to VGA thing where I could possibly use it to connect via one of the USB connections but to use that, I have to install software. Since it's currently impossible to see the desktop, I'm unable to install that software.
I'm trying to figure out if there is any way where I could see that desktop (temporarily) until I could install the software. This computer is connected to another computer through a Belkin router. I've tried doing a remote setting but I don't think I've accepted the remote configuration in that computer. I couldn't get that to work.
If I remove the hard drive, install the software using another computer where I can see the screen & then put the hard drive back into the Dell, would that work? The Dell has Windows 7 & the second computer has Vista.
I know the best option would be to replace the screen but since that will cost a lot of money, I'm trying to find another solution.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
