I have been unable to set the OPENING screen to MY location, and/or eliminate the "information" boxes such as the quiz.
By NO MEANS eliminate the "one drive" link, even IF you do NOT use the cloud, as doing THAT turns the computer into an expensive brick; (I found that out with a tower model earlier, with the same OS.)
Otherwise, other than NOT having enough USB ports, it is a good machine; adding a USB hub solves the problem, OR you could use the built in "wireless" for accessory connections.
