The Bad: The machine came configured for gamers and social medial mavens. It was not useful for serious work and record keeping. Apparently StorageSense immediately erased 20 years of automobile driving and maintenance records (among other things). I still can't figure out how FileExplorer or OneDrive work - File Explorer rarely shows what drive I'm attached to (cloud, local or a USB remote), if in fact they do, and not all of my local files are shown, especially when I desperately need THAT file. My proprietary work has most likely been copied to someone else's storage system (a security risk). At this point, I have lost almost a month's productive work time in trying to configure the machine to be useful. The diagnostic software was unable to identify a failing router. The AI makes far too many judgement mistakes - I will do my own thinking, thank you. Windows 11 has too many options to be useful for the average user. A tech who came in indicated he and a number of friends have gone to Linux just to be rid of Microsoft and Windows. Between an operating system that many users despise, and a State Governor who want to tax Microsoft out of business (...insatiable appetite for money...), I'd be surprised if Microsoft is still in business in ten years.
The Good: Except for missing and/or hidden files (that shouldn't be missing), operations appear to be fast and reliable. Initial physical setup was easy; pretty much plug and play.

Before putting personal and confidential files on a widows 11 machine, be aware it is for data gathering and your files will not be stored on your computer (even if they think it is theirs, you are renting). Best to disable that profit data stealing enabled disrespect to customers. One drive w a.I.will make them rich and your sap.
I have been a HP user for many years. I was very disappointed with my latest purchase. It didn't function upon first use. I'm having to send it back for repair before I ever got to use it.
My problem is really not the pc issue.,I have an isdue with windows and microdoft security .everh 10 minutes the OS is badgering mr me use festures I hate all the inrerruptions to look look at al the so called new fetures which are only there to examine my purchasing habits. Get out oy my businrss and just give me e mail and a basic OS.
