I was not able to hook it up because it was not compatible with my monitor. Had I looked at more closely I could have made that determination in advance.
This PC was easy to set-up and is easy to operate. Windows 11 is somewhat different than Windows 10, but not enough to matter. All in all, this computer seems to be of the same high quality as the old HP it replaced. I am very satisfied!

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.
So far so good; living up to expectations. Fast, plenty of memory and storage. Windows 11 seems pretty streamlined. Over the years, I've had several HPs...like them better than other brands I've had.
