    Terrible Purchase

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Installing this product is a nightmare and five days later it vanishes and cannot be re-installed because you only get one installation. Calls to support are useless. I have not had access to the software for two weeks and the contract is only one year in length then you have to buy it again. If I could, I would give it no stars at all in the rating.

    1. I thought the PC had a touch screen. Not so 2. Very difficult to acclimate to a very foreign process. Could not install Windows Office. Dealt with the help desk for 4 days before someone could assist me. I still had to take it in to the Geek guys who exchanged the Office product for a new one. (I am not a novice and have owned more than 10 PC's in addition to using several at work sites.)

    Fraud

    I never bought this product but my credit card was charged 74 USD in Feb. 2018. Supposedly I bought this product in the Best Buy store in Tenleytown, Washington DC on Feb. 7. I have not been in that store since 2013... Efforts to reconcile this issue with Best Buy failed because all I got was an algorithm answer by their "customer care" computer.

    A Well Priced and Useful Upgrade

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This HP is an excellent upgrade from an older computer that could not accept Windows 11. All old data transferred easily and Office 365 Personal loaded and operates without any problems. All my periferals hooked up plug-and-play wtihout any issues 2 HP printers (old B&W laser and newer Office Jet Pro color inkjet) , Older HP monitor (with an HDMI cable, Logitec camera/microphone, Boston speaker set, Seagate exernal hard drive - operate as before. I did have to add an external CD read-write unit as that is not included in the Desktop unit. There are still several usb ports available for flash drilve and othre future uses.

    I would love to review my Office365 Personal Subscription but I can't on account of it not being activated by Best Buy. I ordered it online and it was delivered a few days ago, I went to set it up today and it says it hasn't been activated by the seller. I would recommend the product to a friend but I would not recommend purchasing from Best Buy.

    I got 12-month subscription and was told can be installed by 5 people. I discovered is only for one person. Called to cancel, got connected to the sale representative, he put me on hold and disappeared, so had to call again and was able to speak to human but the quality of service was terrible!

    This program is AWFUL! I have already been to the Geek Squad twice with issues, and now I have to return because of 2 more problems. I had no choice but to buy this program at a hefty price that I will HAVE TO RENEW every year at additional money. NOTHING LIKE BEING UNDER THE THUMB OF THE GUSTAPO.

    Not a huge Microsoft fan to begin with, but to basically disable me after a year is not cool. Prevent me from accessing all those great features that you add (NOT!), but don't prevent me from editing existing files. Cost is ridiculous for this.
