When starting up the laptop for the first time you can’t just name the computer and continue on to the desktop screen and start using it. After you name the computer it wants you to set up the internet and type in the password to access that. Then it asks you to enter your email address and password linked to your Microsoft account so it can automatically upload all of the crap you have on your other computer to the new computer whether you want it too or not. You can’t just start out with it as a blank computer and add things to it as you use it. Good job Microsoft and HP. I shut it and put it back in the box it came in. It wants to violate your privacy right off of the start.
There is NO instruction manual with this computer. It took me 5 min. to figer out how to yurn it on... It is just sitting here doing nothing.... A friend told me I had to print it out. I don't have a printer.
This is my second 17" HP laptop. To my first one I say shame on you. This second one is a bigger piece crap than the first one and to that I say shame on me !
I was surprised that there is no Ethernet slot to connect to my wireless router, not sure i like to have edge as the default software. Cannot turn up the sound to a volume to a level i would like.
I have been a HP customer for over 25 years. Bought my last one a couple months ago to replace one that was becoming obsolete. Never had a problem using my HP computer.My new laptop 17 was easy to set up and even easier to use keep up the good work HP
