    The computer was extremely slow. I was very surprised to find the poor performance for a 8gb RAM Lenovo with a i5 Intel processor to perform in such a poor state.

      The Lenovo IdeaCentre 510A Desktop, model number 90HV0003US is an extremely powerful mid-range desktop computer, shipping with the powerful Six-Core Intel Core i5-8400 processor. This processor has a base speed of 2.8GHz and a Turbo Boost Speed of up to 4.0GHz. This processor is supported by 8GB DDR4-2666MHz RAM. If you are getting slower than expected performance, 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

      We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Lenovo IdeaCentre 510A desktop. Obviously this system should not take 15 minutes to boot.

    Great PC for the price range.

    Overall, the pc is a great replacement for my 9 year old desktop. Performs well, except there is a static buzzing coming from the headphones ports, even after updating all drivers. Doesn't matter which one I use, still same noise. Installed a old USB soundcard I had laying around and using that to listen to music.
