Okay Computer to upgrade to Windows 11
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would be a nice computer to upgrade to windows 11 )that has issues) except for all the built in apps, One Drive, Microsoft 365, and many others that have messed up the software I purchased separately such as Office Professional and Quicken as Microsoft builds in their apps for subscriptions after a short time and hard to delete. My last computer was 4 years old Acer All in One and so easy to manage apps and settings.

Quick, Quiet and Light
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice little DVD drive. Plugged it into my Dell notebook and away I went. No muss, no fuss, no nothing actually. Totally painless. The drive is powered through the USB connection, so only one cord to connect. Goes about it's job quietly and quickly, which is everything you could ask for in one of these. I haven''t tried burning a DVD yet, but for my use it is great.
