Q: can you upgrage the RAM to 16G?
A: Yes go to Crucial.com and select your iMac model and it will help you select memory upgrade. The unit I purchase came with 8gigs of ram using 2 slots. The iMac 27" 2017 model has 4 slots. I added (2) 8 gig DDR4 2400 sticks of ram which gave me 24 total gigs of ram. This should be plenty unless you are using video editing software and ripping files. Good luck the upgrade is easy.There are many video's on how to install memory on iMac. Just do a google search on how to upgrade memory for iMac 27" model 2017.
Q: What are the height and width of the iMac 27"
A: 25.5 in wide and stands 20.5 in high

A: The iMac or any Mac computer has a build in migration app. Go to finder and select utilities, then select Migration Assistant and follow the steps to move your apps, files or everything to your new Mac. Good luck.
A: Yes. If you are using Office 365 then those files are probably stored on your OneDrive. All you have to do is download the Office 365 Mac Apps (usually free with an Office sub) and they will be synced.
A: The primary difference will be that most viruses are created for PC computers. Secondly, the PC operating systems are taking on more MAC features, however, MACs are best for graphic applications, and PCs are business computers. The MAC can be used in dual purposes, it has the ability to read/use PC applications, as well as MAC applications. It too is very user-friendly, and rarely crash. I purchased a MacBook in 2008, heavily used till 2017, it crashed once, and that was in 2016.
Q: does this unit come with a keyboard?
A: Yes. It does come with a standard keyboard. If you want the keyboard with the numerical pad on it, you will have to purchase it separately.
