A:AnswerHi Barb, thank you for the question. Yes, that's a 100-foot cable, but there are shorter cables available. If you want to go wireless, you'd connect the Ethernet cable to your router. The router is what broadcasts the WiFi signal to your devices.
A:AnswerHi Barb, thank you for the question. Yes, there is an Ethernet (RJ-45) port on the rear of the computer. There are also audio-in, audio-out, and USB-A ports on the rear.
A:AnswerHi Barb, thank you for the question. You need a cable that can handle the bandwidth - not a phone cord. You'll need an Ethernet cable to connect to your router if you're not using WiFi.

A:AnswerMicrosoft Office will not come with a unit. You either have to get the subscription or pay for the most current version. You may want to contact Best Buy and see if they have any offerings that you may still be able to get at this time.
A:AnswerYou will want to look at the system requirements from the developer's website for any software you would like to use and make sure that the computer you would like to buy meets the requirements for the settings you want to use. Updates can change these requirements and that can affect the settings you might want to use it on or prevent you from using the software at all. Same with the Hardware in this case. If you want a good constant upload to Twitch, it will also depend on the settings you want for Twitch. On average you will want at least a steady 10mbps upload or faster. If you are curious about your setup, you can ask Best Buy for an at home check and they can make sure you have the best equipment for your needs.
A:AnswerHello, yes, you can set up to 4 monitors with this desktop. A VGA, HDMI, and the USB ports will connect your monitors. Screen resolution is up to 1080p dependent on the monitors you choose. Thank you for being an HP customer!
A:AnswerFor any software you will want to check the system requirements from developer's website and make sure that the model matches the spec requirements for the setting you would like to use. Note that updates can change the system requirements and that would affect what settings you might be able to use or if you can use the software at all. The Desktop is a prebuilt. The only things you would have to connect to it would be the keyboard, mouse, monitor/TV and possible speakers.
A:AnswerThank you for the question. The M01-F1214 desktop will support the game's minimum requirements, however, it's using integrated graphics. You might want to consider adding a dedicated graphics card to improve gameplay for more avid users.
