When I boot my PC, Dell 8300 desktop, I get to a point where it says: system
battery low, then two options, F1 to continue and F2 to enter setup. I
figure I have to change the onboard CR2032 battery, since I've never changed
it before and it's the stock battery that came from Dell when I purchased the
PC. Can I change the battery without any problems, like having to configure
anything in BIOS or setup? Or can I just change the battery and not make any
configurations in setup? I'm running Windows XP Pro, but I'd also like to
know about other operating systems, since I'm using Windows ME in the Gateway
Performance 800, and Windows 98SE in the Dell XPS T500. I haven't changed any
system batteries in those PCs yet either. I have 2 Compaq Presario 5000 A
Series PCs too. Those have Windows XP Pro upgrade, and Windows Home Edition
operating systems.
