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.
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 !
On the whole, the laptop probably is a good computer. It's the mouse that's the problem. I use an old fashion mouse because I've never been able to figure out the mouse pad. On my previous HP laptop there was an option to turn off the pad if there was a regular mouse in use. Now, I can't do that. Actually, I have two mice and neither one is under my control 100% of the time. I'm typing away on Word, and something gets highlighted reformatted or deleted. Good thing Control Z still works.
