There are many “features” to be deleted or turned off. I am not tech-savvy, and only need a simple machine. This one automatically saves my documents to the cloud — NO! Automatically suggests how to compose documents —NO! Had to disable many things. Had to subscribe to extra cost version of Microsoft 365 to be able to properly use Excel & Word! Very difficult/almost impossible to transfer documents from my old HP Laptop. Product description on website did NOT state that this computer did not come with a webcam or speakers; had to purchase in addition after the fact. Luckily, I did not have a Zoom mtg for a few weeks! Summary: irritating to use. I don’t want Microsoft to force me to do things its way, rather than my own way. By the way, HP Smart Friend is not very helpful in trying to help with setup.
HP cares about their customers. This is a good computer. Buy it now before the price goes up. It has a built-in DVD Writer and Wi-Fi so you are all set for Windows 11.

There was "no audio card". No one could or would tell me how to add one. HP evaluation said it had one. It Did Not! I couldn't solve the issue. I really liked the desktop unit. But at least HP took it back. I'm still looking for a new computer. I had hoped to add bluetooth speakers to this one, obviously that didn't work out.
Nice system, BUT, the technical description did not mention that this was configured as a SERVER. The 2 TB hard drive has two partitions: C:\ is only about 183 GB where the D:\ partition is around 183 TB. SO if you are not careful when automatically loading applications the C:\ drive will fill up rather quickly!
