    If you arent using remote desktop in 2025 you arent computing correctly. Also being able to delay updates is a healthy way of saving you hours of headaches.

    I love how easy Best Buy makes it to buy digital content so I can get the 5% back in rewards. I almost bought this directly from Microsoft. The Windows 11 Pro OS is needed if you are learning to use Virtual Machines and advanced OS features as taught in the Comp TIA A+. My mind is also at ease due to the fact that I can encrypt my drive with Bitlocker when I travel.

    Item is an emailed product key to upgrade Win 11 Home to Pro. Needed for AAD/Entra ID for business users. Had to cancel and reorder because the first order was taking more than 24 hrs. Using Best Buy support, the second order processed in less than 30 minutes. First order refunded correctly.

    I've had this PC for a few weeks now. From the start it is Everything a PC should be. I use it for accounting, embroidery and quilting designing, among other things. Truly a blessing to have this system. Not sure why I waited so long to get it!
