New desktop is still very new to me with Windows 11. But so far I'm really liking how fast it is and user friendly. Have only bumped into one issue with attempting to reinstall embroidery programs but after a bit of time did get it to open. One other program for longarm quilting installed fine but could not activate the dongle so thinking Windows 11 just is way to advanced for the dongle to function.
Very fast, easy to get started. Took me a while to get used to WIN 11, coming from WIN 7. You will find that very little of your older programs will work, even with updates. Most of my older software programs also do not work with WIN 11. Fortunately WIN 11 is safer on the internet since updates are available. The HP Pavilion is great. The only complaint is that it seems to look a bit "cheaper/built" than my old HP Pavilion.....which looked like a very expensive PC. Not thrilled with the "vertical" DVD slot, but it does work OK. I store all my photos on the 2T hard drive, and only programs and updates on the 500GB SSD. So far so good. Hopefully I can get at least 10 years out of it as I did with the old one!
This replaced my 7 year old HP computer that still works with a new Windows 11 I7 chip for future growth and learning. Great computer as my previous HP computers have been over the years used for household activities and annual income tax. I would recommend for anyone upgrading.
