    Windows 11 is a nightmare

    Windows 11 bricks the computer. Then you waste days researching why and having to run ms config and essentially reprogram and go back to older installations trying to figure out what’s wrong and how to get a simple software you use daily to function. Putting it back in the box and retuning

    Bought it for my Son for Christmas, he loved it but not even 60 day’s in and it completely shut down and wouldn’t turn back on. We took it in for repair a month ago and still haven’t got it back. Last update was 3 weeks ago, telling us they had to order parts.

    The price was steep to say the least. Cooling was another issue. 3080 was ok and ran a little warm. Also you could build the same pc for less than 2k
