HP Envy Desktop PC, Intel Core i7-14700, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, UHD Graphics 770, Windows 11 Pro, TE01-5002 (2024)

I bought this PC because Microsoft made Windows 10 obsolete. I was very happy with my older PC and with Windows 10. I don't find Windows 11 better than Windows 10. But this new PC is good: fast and, so far, reliable. Using OneDrive made moving from one PC to another, easier than before, but transferring my emails in Outlook from one PC to another was tedious as I had to use the Outlook file export/import facility and it did not work for the entire archive.pst, so I had to split it and do it folder by folder within the Inbox. Except for this, the PC does the job, including accepting new peripherals in a user friendly way. Fast PC, lots of SSD storage. Good value for the money, I think, especially when bought during Amazon Days!!

Ordered two PCs one for my wife and I. Purchased HP computers because we replaced two HP PCs that were over 10 years old and still working fine, but could not be upgraded to Windows 11 or receive updates after October. The new HP PCs were shipped just fine with no damage to the shipping boxes. They were easy to setup and get working and so far are working just fine. With the solid state digital hard drive the PCs startup almost instantly and seem to be very quick in loading programs and saving files, etc. Have no opinion on gaming capabilities since we are not typical gamers.

I've had this for a couple months now, so far it is working well. Bloatware was immediately removed. There was a learning curve changing from Windows 10 to Windows 11, but that's a review for Microsoft rather than and HP product. HP has been very helpful in directing me to the drivers for peripherals that I use and did not want to give up (I have a laser printer I've been using since 2007 that I love and still works GREAT!). I was thrill to avoid the dreaded obsolete software messages. Speed is fantastic, generous number of USB connections, storage more than meets my needs, and it even includes a VGA option in addition to the standard HMDI for my monitors. Hopefully long term reliability will also be great.

Product review: Problem for everyone making this purchase. Windows S Mode and Refurbished Devices. Many refurbished computers are originally licensed with Windows Home in S Mode, not Pro. S mode restricts software installation to Microsoft Store apps only. Although you opted out of S Mode (which is permanent), the underlying license remains Windows Home, not Pro. The Product Key Issued by the reseller provided you with a Windows Pro product key, but: If the system image (firmware + OEM license embedded in the motherboard) it is still Home based, the system can: Appear to accept the Pro key Then reverts behavior back to the Microsoft Store. Locking the customer out of his software and preventing use of your software. This usually means: The Pro key is not properly bound, or the system was not clean installed with Windows Pro, which is required. So why Your Software Stopped Working When the system reasserted Microsoft Store enforcement: Google Docs (via browser), legacy desktop apps, and non-Store software becomes blocked This locks you the customer out of using the functionally, you have paid for. Anyone purchasing these systems will always be looking over their shoulders to see if this this will revert back and block your soft wear. I have made Amazon aware of this Problem. I will see what they may do not only for me but for many customers as well?

Love the smaller footprint, but I'm probably going to miss the DVD and CD drives. So far, meeting my needs. I moved a larger hard drive from my previous computer into this unit and it is working just fine!!

I’ve always liked HP products. Quality and Performance not to leave out using it. I am impressed and have tried tech support for answers to a few issues. A few were easy because I was walked though some steps to achieve my goals. I would have really appreciated being able to get to a real HP REPRESENTATIVE FASTER but after getting through a couple of things I couldn’t spend anymore time with trying. AI IS GOOD TO AN EXTENT BUT cannot replace real people. My issue was setup and couldn’t get connected to my other HP with windows TEN and the new one is ELEVEN.. I kept getting put to a different recorded guide. The computer works great but I’m questionable about support and the new learning curve. I just wanted to network the two computers and did not accomplish that yet. It’s a fast responsive computer and I still recommend it. I might get lucky as far as HP SUPPORT and speaking to somebody that is alive.

Very nice home PC. I use it at home as it is easier to use at my desk than my lap top.

good
