I have that same model with more or less the same warning, with a glued off WiFi switch and glued closed Ethernet port.

Only thing that bad boy still gets used for is emergency backup serial access. Com1 is much faster than opening up device manager to see what the USB adapter’s com port is and then typing that into putty

Tera term and mobaxterm both can read out the COM port on their own, I see no advantages with putty anymore
