Out of the box, this will barely get along. With today's memory-hogging/leaking browsers and always-probing AV software (like Bitdefender), you will find this HDD straining to keep up and, in the process, slowing things down considerably. However, you can greatly improve the speed, and ease the burden on the HDD, by doubling the RAM for about $36 and using a RAM disk (I like ImDisk).If this HP holds up for a little while, I intend to replace the HDD with a SSD, which will help even further. I could have gone with a better-loaded Win11 machine, but I might as well just send all of my personal files and info directly to Microsoft. This will be my last Windows machine, given MS's drive toward controlling all of our personal computing activity. Once Win10 loses application support by browsers and AV software, I'll move to Linux, which has made enormous strides and now, pretty much, gives a better windows-type experience that Microsoft.
