A:AnswerThose are paid software programs that need to be purchased separately. You will get standard Microsoft Windows 10 OS features such as WordPad and Microsoft Photos, and you will get a short trial to Microsoft Office 365. You will also receive Trend Micro Internet Security (3-Device/6 Month Subscription) for free.
A:AnswerThere are many different GPU manufacturers as well as many different models and performance levels of GPUs. There are some great GPUs from companies such as AMD and NVidia which could easily handle AAA gaming titles and streaming. Overall it is all to your personal preference which particular brand and model you go with.
A:AnswerUnfortunately this model's PSU may not be strong enough to sustain a dedicated graphics card of that intensity. The desktop has been configured and design for specific performance capabilities, and making major upgrades to the power supply, or graphics, may not be recommended due to space limitations. We would recommend considering one of our OMEN desktops instead!
A:AnswerThe 125 GB SSD on the C Drive. is too small to hold program and very many data files. If you upgrade that to 556 GB that may serve your needs. I had problems with a mechanical drive on my last Compaq computer, so I choose to upgrade the D Drive to 1 TB SSD, and stay with the installed C Drive. Cost for that was about $150 for the drive and the labor, but for $200 you got that plus Geek squad support also. This set up is very fast. The problem with that is your data files: documents and photos or not accessible from the library icon on your desktop so I have to have a separate folder on my desktop for my data files.
A:AnswerYes, you can use a standard GPU with this computer but you may need to upgrade the PSU depending on the card. I would check with the GPU manufacturer to be sure.
