      The Lenovo IdeaCentre 3 model number 90MV0001US, will boot from off to the Windows 10 Desktop in less than 40-seconds. If you are experiencing slower boot times, be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. There is no need to install Microsoft Office software. The software is already part of the operating system, you just need to activate the software with a purchased product key. If you have installed a copy of Microsoft Office, this is conflicting with the existing copy on the system and this will slow your system down. If you have installed a 3rd party anti-virus program, be sure that Windows Defender is turned off and that the trial version of McAfee Anti-Virus software is uninstalled. There can only be one anti-virus program on the system. You may need to restore your system to original factory default settings if any of the programming errors have occurred. You can do that by typing "restore" in the Cortana search window. Just click on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom left of your Windows 10 Desktop. Click on "Reset This PC" Then click on "Get Started" and follow the on screen directions to restore to factory defaults. If the problem persists, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686. Lenovo

    Trash. Not even three months into using this thing it’s slower than melting snow in Alaska. I haven’t added any software or additional programs nor am I a gamer. Just surfing the internet or even opening Google to check email is a chore. My three year old laptop runs circles around this thing. Also, I ordered a 2TB system but a 1 TB arrived. Yes, it’s taken some time to post this because, life, but that changes nothing I said.
