Windows Advertising Microsoft Edge On My Computer

After 7 years with my last computer and windows upgrade it was time to purchase a new computer,. Microsoft office 365 issmuch different then what I'm used to

I am very happy with this computer. Microsoft makes transferring everything a breeze.

Excellent computer, far better than any Microsoft based computer that I have used

I use this to make system images on Win 7 Pro... before I do windows update (just to be safe, because, you know, microsoft).  Priced right and works for me.  Generally takes two of these to make a system image of my C: drive with 115 GB on it.  Good safety net.

Did you know that you can't even get the computer to work without a Microsoft Login now? Super annoying.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my SSD in the mail and have had a very positive experience so far since having my son help me install it. This is for use on the "family computer", and to be honest, we haven't upgraded in a LONG time. My youngest was insisting we upgrade, and my oldest insisted we build from scratch. Our previous computer still had a HDD which had EVERYTHING (our instance of Windows, files, apps) all installed on it. We eventually got a SSD to swap out some things to run off of that. This time around, my oldest got me to pick this up so that we could install Windows and frequently used apps on it. After spending the first week on the new computer, I completely understand why he had us do it this way! applications load quickly and seamlessly, no more long loading times where you think you didn't "double click" on something only to click again and open up two instances of it, no more freezing, no more headaches! My youngest is also loving it as he uses it for virtual classes and online gaming; he downloads the main game he's playing at the time (not all of them since we don't want him to hog it all himself!) and he says there's a noticeable difference in the boot up, loading, and exit of the game software. My oldest said that building the new PC for us was really easy (took him about 2 hours overall since he's a perfectionist) and installing the SSD was effortless: A sturdy piece that was easy to connect to the motherboard and build around. Working with computers often, he's said he's heard of other SSDs snapping in pieces when being installed, but that it was never a concern with this one. I'm so happy with our new computer and I look forward to the many memories each of us will create using it in the future!

My computer front ports stopped working with a Windows 10 update, and I could not get them to work again. But my rear 3.1 ports were working fine. So I saw this little unit, and bought it at B&H's low price. It's plug and play, and functions perfectly. I plugged it into a rear port, and double-sided taped it to the computer top. It has a power button that once turned on, never has to be used again. Turn the computer off, turn it on again, and the hub powers up with the computer. Perfect, and an easy fix! I can high-speed transfer to my USB sticks again!

My first NEW computer since 1991. My last new computer was an Apple Mac Quadra 840AV. I built my own Windows machines in the 90’s and 2000’s. Bought used Mac’s off eBay after that. 2007 and 2012 MacBooks. This is an incredible computer. I highly recommend it. Fantastic keyboard. Love it!

My office is in the basement but there are a few windows (the windows face north and are at least 20 ft away from my computer). I've had the keyboard for a few weeks and it has stayed charged mainly from the overhead lights. This keyboard has an excellent feel to it and having a separate numerical pad makes it a great replacement for the Apple keyboard that came with my iMac.

When Microsoft banned computer hardware that didn't have the TPM chip and therefore would not run Windows 11, I said, That's it. Fool me once Microsoft. shame on you... What's to stop Microsoft from doing this again in the future? I began looking at alternatives and decided that running Windows 11 as a Virtual Machine (VM) inside a product called Parallels Desktop on a Mac was the way to go. I'm one who always assembled his own PC's and keeping my budget at $1000 for the box (no new monitor, keyboard, mouse, external devices) BUT, if I was going to run Windows 11 inside of my new Mac, the Mac had better be on the robust end of the spectrum. My former Macs have always had 8 to 16GB of RAM which was adequate for my usage. But since Windows 11 doesn't thrive until reaching 16GB, I decided that 32GB should be fine with this new Mac (it's perfect) Next, storage. VM's require a lot of storage space. I'm running a Windows 11 VM, Mac Sonoma (this is an additional Mac VM) and a Linux VM. My Mac now has 850GB free on a 2TB drive. Yes, get the 2TB storage! I have no storage insecurity which counts for a lot. Perhaps I'll try moving the VM's to external storage someday but I don't have resources for trying experiments now - using RAID arrays, etc. So now I have an expensive Mac (it's all relative, I know). I justify it by saying that I was going to have to buy my $1000 Windows box anyway plus I wanted the new Mac silicon. Installing Parallels Desktop and the Windows 11 VM is mostly an automated experience. Everything is fast.
