I wasn't happy when I realized it had Windows 10 pro 64 bit on it. I wanted Windows 7 64 bit. That being said, I discovered I don't hate Windows 10 as much as I thought I would. Probably because of all the wars I had with Windows 7 over ownership. This seems to take me claiming ownership better. Plus I know my Android phone and Android tablet and how they work so Windows 10 makes sense to me but with more control than the Androids. And that has nothing to do with the computer itself just the OS [don't confuse the two].
The computer runs like a champ. Extremely quiet. I had no problem opening her up, I wish all cases were that easy. Pull the lever and the top pops right off. The inside is cramped. But considering how little room she takes up, that's to be expected. Getting to the slot for my second hard drive was a breeze. It's right under the DVD. Simply press down on the foot and up it come when you pull. I put in a 1 Tb harddrive. She started up told me she found the drive, listed it, and asked if this set up was okay. I told it yes, it started up without a hitch. To get rid of the old Windows 7 files, I formatted. Delete won't work. She wants me to have ownership of them so I bypassed it and formatted since Windows 7 had crashed and had to be reinstalled wiping out my drive. [thank the computer gods for Crashplan]. More than enough slots. 4 on the front makes it really nice. It also has microphone and speakers/headphones standard plug ins in the front. My only complaint is the position that HP chose for the start button. They should have just put the HP symbol on it, instead it blends in perfectly with the cover and for my older eyes was a bit hard to see but once I learn the position, there will be no problem.
The only faults is I can't put the second DVD/CD Read Write Drive in because of the space. The second hard drive was my choice. I will probably get a drive case for my others and convert the second DVD to external.
