I bought this because I could not upgrade to Windows 10. It does not have a slot to store my external storage device, nor can it accommodate my HP speakers. It is an expensive bare bones model.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Fast, quiet. Excellent desktop about a third of the size of the old one. Win11 seems easy enough to navigate although no Quick Launch area seems to be in Win11. I did install Open Shell under Win11 as this was on the previous Win10 desktop that my wife used. Open Shell seems to work well under Win11. Previous desktop had a regular hard drive. Image backups using Macrium Reflect used to take about 41 minutes. This new desktop once I had reinstalled everything that my wife had before took 3 minutes with the Solid State Drive in it. Don’t buy a new PC without an SSD as the boot drive!!!
This PC came with a 2TB hard drive which will see little use as all our data files sit on an ASUSTOR NAS with 3 4 TB drives in it.

Very fast, quite, easy to work with. It is somewhat limited by internal expansion space. It can only hold two rotational drives and it’s only got one or two slots for memory cards. My old Pavilion held a half dozen memory cards, and more drives. But it does work wonderfully.
I would recommend this to a friend!

One problem. Does anyone know how to correct this?

So far, this computer is very good, but when I wake it up after putting it to sleep, I have no sound, so I have to restart the computer. Then I have sound. If I shut down the computer entirely, then I have sound when I start it up. What is going on here? Is it wise to shut the computer down completely several times a day?

I've had HP products forever and they've always been good products. Reliable, well-built, etc. This is a hunk of junk though. I got it to replace an aging Envy desktop (about 10 years old). When I pulled this from the box, I could tell things had changed. It was lighter (which is good), but also felt flimsy and cheaply made. That's not necessarily a deal-breaker for me. What IS a deal-breaker is how freaking loud this thing is. Yes, I got the cheaper drive (not SSD) so I knew it's be noisy. But, dear God is this thing loud! Every time the drive starts to spin in beeps then runs so loudly I can't think. And it shakes my whole desk. My 10+ year old Envy with the same type of drive is waaaay quieter than this piece of garbage. Is my Envy whisper quiet? No, but I don't jump every time the drive spins. HP tried to get me to talk to tech support to fix the BIOS settings but something that's brand new and out of the box should not need a BIOS fix. I'm in the process of returning this but, seriously, do yourself a favor and skip this. You'll regret it if you don't.

HP Pavilion Desktop TP01-3055xt excellent but no cd writer/player

HP Pavilion Desktop TP01-3055xt is excellent desktop and very fast however it did not have a cd/DVD writer. I had to return it back since I bought it to play my exercise CDs every morning, play DVDs for instructional art oil painting and surf the net. Shipping was fast except FedEx should have rung the doorbell upon receipt. Return procedures, customer service and technical assistance were awesome.
I would recommend this to a friend!
