Best Value

Like one of the other reviewers, I have worked in PC Retail and also in Service/Software for over 20 years and have never come for better value. Being used to buying at wholesale prices I naturally looked for a new PC from one of my suppliers but I chose this one based on the price believing I could fix it if something was wrong with it. Was I surprised when I opened the box - I actually thought it must be brand new, just never sold after next year's model came out and has been sitting in storage the whole time. It seems like, it is indeed an immaculately renovated unit. Bold enough for office work and browsing though if you add $35. 00 Kingston 240GB SSD plus a SATA cable as a boot drive makes it an even faster machine. After first booting and checking, I used FREE version of AOMEI Partition Assistant to clone HDD to SSD and then remapped the boot drive in computer settings (press ESC, then F10 at boot, go to Storage, Boot Order and change the boot order). . Positions of disks to place Disk1, SSD, above Disk0; save and close). I will be using the HDD for either mass storage, backup or as a full SSD clone. The SSD can be fixed in a spare bay with double-sided adhesive tape, if you don't want to buy an adapter box. Just be careful when connecting the cables as the plastic is brittle. It's just that the Windows 10 64-bit operating system alone is almost worth the price. Make sure you download the latest update. I also always include a FREE version of a good antivirus like AVAST for extra protection (it offers continuous background scanning. However, they kill you with their update ads if you don't pay). Open Office is also a great free replacement for MS Office. Take a close look at all the new features in Windows 10 - they include many new applications that you previously bought from third parties. Do this by opening Settings and carefully examining each setting, as well as check all programs in the start menu. To test free software major geeks.
